I got so frustrated and stopped using it. Got depressed and felt like a failure but tried again until I just gave up. The bottle seemed easier. I'm a first time mother and breastfeeding has been a nightmare. My flow seemed to increase but then I noticed it diminished. She's going on three months and I'm thinking of getting the and again. It's worth a retry. The lactation nurse made one for,me a day after my baby’s birth to stimulate let down. I got so frustrated and stopped using it.

I started using the sns a few days ago to help my 2 wk old son discontinue pacifying while breast feeding. I had to supplement 1-2oz while trying to increase my milk supply with a bottle, he began to not want to feed at the breast because the bottle was much easier, that is when he started to become a lazy sucker. I am looking for signs or ways to determine the length of use? The sns is amazing and would continue to use with my son. Being only 2 weeks post I want to make sure he doesn't get dependent on the sns, Help! I am looking for more information on when to discontinue use of the sns.

Do you have any tricks on how to latch him on without taping the tube. I find when I try to "sandwich" my breast to get him to latch the tube pops up. My husband has been helping me insert the tube, but he goes back to work tomorrow. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks I am currently using the SNS with my 14 day old.

If yes, at what month? I am using the SNS with my 9 week old, and I fear that she won't continue on it for 2+ years as it is awfully cumbersome, and I do not want to switch to a bottle. Please share where you are in the process. Thank you, Chasya-Uriel Dana,

I have a 8 weeks old baby girl that is not putting on the expected weight. She is a VERY lazy feeder :/ that's why my milk supply dropped considerably after the 6th week. I was so hopeless and already thinking about weaning her, even if it was to give her expressed milk on a bottle. I was kindda deppressed for the fact that I initially could meet her needs and she simply wouldn't feed! It gave me hope to see that other moms had the same problem and fought the bottle as much as I am. I'm gonna talk to the lactation consultant tomorrow and I'll mention it to her. I really see it as a way to help my baby gain weight while I build my milk supply back, on my BREAST! That sounds like a dream! :) I'll give u the feedback! :) God bless u all! Hi ladies.

I will be using the system as soon as it arrives and hope to have a great update to give. Dana should add her update of going onto weaning from the sns... what a wonderful encouragement.

The heartbreak at knowing your baby isn't getting enough food, then the victory in figuring out how to get it to him without weaning, very moving. Thanks for sharing that. I'm sure it will be an encouragement to another mom. Great success story!
