Summary[edit]
| Summary | |
|---|---|
| Description | Seen here is a 4 day old infant latched and nursing. A small tube is inserted into the latch which allows the infant to consume additional expressed milk or formula - while also nursing. The benefits to this process include stimulating milk production as the child continues to suckle, and avoid nipple confusion if the family does not plan to use bottles. It can also be helpful in the case of thrush infection, if the infant has stopped wanting to suckle due to assoxisted pain. The pictured mother has a lot of experience using this system - but it can be difficult to get the hang of. It is easiest to prepare the syringe(s) ahead of a nursing session. This mother used this system twice with each of her children, for about 2.5-3 weeks. |
