Product Description
Medela SpecialNeeds Feeder – Standard Size
Designed to support babies who may have difficulty creating the vacuum normally needed for feeding. The Medela SpecialNeeds Feeder allows milk to be delivered using compression of the teat and offers three controllable flow positions, helping caregivers adapt feeding to the baby's individual abilities and feeding effort.
Compression Feeding
Designed to allow milk to flow through compression when a baby is unable to create sufficient vacuum during feeding.
3 Flow Positions
A line marking on the teat helps the caregiver select between three different flow rates to suit the baby's feeding ability.
