1. Determine the tubing size
2. Push valve with attached tubings over valve
holder. Caution: do not pull on tubing. Tub-
ings are not very strong and could break.
3. Slide tubing through attachment ring and
push valve holder with the valve into the ring
until it snaps.
4. Fill bottle with supplement recommended by physician.
5. Screw attachment ring onto feeding bottle, clamp both tubings into attach-
ment ring to avoid milk flow as you place system around your neck.
6. Hang the SNS around your neck and position the height so, that the
shoulder of the bottle is at the height of your nipple. The higher the bottle
is positioned, the faster the flow rate.
7. Place tubing on the top of the nipple making
sure it extends about 5 mm beyond nipple
and secure vertically with a piece of tape
down to the base of the nipple.
8. Position baby at breast and release just the
tubing on the breast you are about to nurse.
Tickle the baby’s lower lip with your nipple
and wait till the baby opens wide. Position
the tube under the baby’s upper lip as you
pull the baby close to the breast so that baby
accepts both the breast and the tube. If you
have difficulty, don’t worry as this may take
a little practice. Remove baby and start
again.
9. It may be necessary to prime the system by
squeezing gently on bottle. This will cause
the tubing to be filled with supplement and
prevent the infant from swallowing air.
