Our SpecialNeeds® Feeder is here to give babies with facial or oral problems the ability to easily feed.
Designed for infants with cleft lip and palate and infants with neurological disorders.
The SpecialNeeds Feeder offers the following benefits for feeding your infant breastmilk:
- Easy regulation of milk flow
- Easy milk intake
- No spillage
- Takes less time for feeding
Easy regulation of milk flow
The one-way valve membrane between bottle and teat means no air can enter the teat. In addition to this, the SpecialNeeds Feeder has a slit-valve which enables you to regulate the flow of breastmilk, by simply changing the position of the teat in your newborn's mouth. Even if your infant only suckles gently, it is able to activate the breastmilk flow.
Support the fluid intake
Even with the gentlest suckling, the infant can be fed breastmilk, satisfying his natural suckling needs even though his suckling is too weak for breastfeeding. By squeezing the teat you can support the flow of breastmilk, so that it's easier for your newborn to drink.
For the very little ones: the Mini-SpecialNeeds Teat
A smaller teat is available for weak or preterm infants: the Mini-SpecialNeeds Teat. Simply replace the standard teat with the mini one.
