Order Medela Mini SpecialNeeds Feeder
In cases of severe feeding problems, the SpecialNeeds Feeder offers an alternative to spoons, enlarged and /or extra holes in bottle nipples, and nasogastric tubes. It is so effective and easy to use that it can change feeding sessions from difficult or traumatic experience into a pleasurable activity for health care professionals, parents and babies. Special design features make the SpecialNeeds Feeder uniquely responsive to the baby’s nursing efforts. The slit-valve in the teat regulates milk flow from zero to maximum, depending on it’s orientation in the baby’s mouth. As milk is drawn out of the teat by even the slightest action of the baby’s tongue and gums, air enters the bottle at the same rate through an inlet groove in the disc. Consequently, there is no turbulence. Milk flows in only one direction - from bottle to teat. The reservoir always remains full, and none of the baby’s effort is wasted.
If the baby cannot nurse at all, or needs a little help, the health
care professional or mother can squeeze and release a limited amount
of milk - 1.25 ml (about ¼ teaspoon) - from the reservoir into the
baby’s mouth.
Special instructions accommodate the feeder, so please read
carefully. The instructions are also available on the link
below.
SpecialNeeds
feeder INSTRUCTIONS for use!
The laser cut opening on the teat should not have cleaning
instruments forced through the slit because damage could occur.
Once a day sterilizing is recommended for the teat
and this can be done easily and quickly with
Medela's Micro-Steam
sterilizing bags in only three minutes in the microwave oven.
Warning: The SpecialNeeds and Mini-SpecialNeeds
Feeders are unsuitable for
babies with a poor swallow reflex. Do not use the Feeders without
the valve.
UK & Canada's shipping price will be the same as the US for one or two feeders, but will ship Airmail. If you prefer Global Priority or Express Mail, please contact us for pricing. Purchasing more than two feeders will cost more for shipping outside the US.
