How do I use the Supplemental Nursing System (SNS)?

After the SNS is cleaned, assembled (with the flow stop engaged) and filled with the required amount of milk, clip the device securely to a bra strap, top or pillow. Position the baby at the breast / chest. Once a good latch is established, gently insert the thin, flexible tube 1.5-2cm into the top corner of the baby's mouth alongside the nipple. Open the flow clamp to let the milk flow. With the help of gravity and the advanced venting system, a controlled and consistent flow of milk is released to the baby as they feed.
