Starter Supplemental Nursing System

For mothers building or maintaining a milk supply, adopting a baby, or nursing a child who needs extra nutrition at the breast, the Starter Supplemental Nursing System makes supplemental feeding possible without introducing a bottle nipple. The device delivers expressed breast milk or formula through a fine feeding tube that rests alongside the nipple, so the baby is fed and stimulates the breast at the same time — reinforcing the latch and encouraging natural milk production.

This collection features the Starter Supplemental Nursing System Baby Bottle (80 mL, clear plastic), a compact reservoir sized for at-breast supplementation. The clear bottle lets you watch flow and remaining volume during a feed, and its smaller capacity is well suited to the top-up amounts typical of early supplementation or induced lactation.

Parents new to at-breast feeding often ask how it works: the bottle hangs from a cord around the neck, tubing runs down to the nipple, and the baby draws supplement and any available breast milk together in one coordinated feed. It's a common tool for relactation, low-supply situations, adoptive nursing, and transitioning a baby back to the breast after bottle use. Because the tubing is thin and the reservoir modest, this system emphasizes practice and gradual supply-building rather than large-volume feeding.

Keep components clean between uses and rinse tubing promptly, since fine channels are where residue collects. Replacement tubing and reservoirs help you maintain consistent flow over weeks of daily use.
