A
special bottle feeder originally developed
for babies with nursing difficulties but
now finding favour with 'Mums' as a viable
alternative to regular feeding bottles where
baby is reluctant to take feed from 'regular
feeding bottles' or where problems such
as colic exist.
The
SpecialNeeds® Feeder (formerly Haberman)
is particularly effective for children with
cleft lip/palate. A separate specially developed
valve installed below the teat allows the
milk to flow slowly and evenly and prevents
the baby from taking in air whilst feeding.
Mum can easily regulate milk quantity and
flow due to the unique design. Flow rate
can be adjusted during feeding to suit baby.
In cases where babies have severe feeding problems, such as with Down Syndrome, cleft lip/palate, neurological dysfunction, sucking symptoms and others, the SpecialNeeds® Feeder offers an alternative to spoons, enlarged and/or extra holes in the nipple, and nasogastric tubes.
The Medela SpecialNeeds® Feeder (formerly Haberman Feeder) is so effective and easy to use that it can actually change feeding sessions from a difficult or even
traumatic experience into a pleasurable
activity for the mother and baby. A specially
designed valve and teat adjust milk flow to suit baby's needs.
-
A one-way
valve prevents flooding and overwhelming
the baby.
-
If the
baby cannot nurse at all, or just needs
a little help, the neck of the teat
can be squeezed to release a limited
volume of milk.
