Sometimes babies need a little extra support while learning to breastfeed — and tools like at-breast supplementation can help.
An at-breast supplementer (SNS) allows baby to receive additional milk through a small tube while nursing at the breast. This means baby can continue practicing their latch, stimulating milk production, and staying connected with their parent during feeds.
At-breast supplementation can be helpful when:
• Baby needs extra calories
• Milk supply is still increasing
• Baby is learning to transfer milk effectively
• Families want to supplement while maintaining breastfeeding
Every feeding journey looks different, and sometimes small tools can make a big difference along the way.
With the right support, many families use systems like this temporarily while working toward their feeding goals.
