How Does The Specialneeds Feeder Help - Medela Mini-SpecialNeeds Feeder Instrucciones De Uso

Dear Parent,
Does your baby have difficulty feeding? Be reassured, you
are not alone. Many babies born each year experience feeding
problems for a wide variety of reasons. The SpecialNeeds
Feeder has been developed specifically to help your baby.
The Mini-SpecialNeeds ™
smaller or premature infants.
The SpecialNeeds feeder was invented by a mother whose
baby was born with Stickler's Syndrome. She experienced the
misery of feeding problems and recognized the need for a
specialized feeder. Five years of research and development
have resulted in a product which really can transform feeding
from a traumatic experience into a relaxed and rewarding
activity for both you and your baby. Its innovative design
provides the answer to lengthy, distressful feedings and an
alternative to nasogastric tube or spoon feedings. It is suitable
for all babies for whom oral feeding is recommended.
First introduced to the United Kingdom in 1987, the
SpecialNeeds Feeder has been widely used for babies
suffering from ailments such as cleft palate, chromosomal
abnormality, cardiac conditions, neuromuscular weakness,
mental handicap, cerebral palsy and other conditions.
Whatever your baby's condition, the
SpecialNeeds Feeder is here to help you.

Rewards the weakest suck
In conventional feeders, much of the baby's effort is wasted on
™
compression of air within the container and movement of feed
within the system. However, the unique SpecialNeeds teat is
separated from the container by a one-way valve. Once filled,
milk is held in the teat and cannot flow back into the container.
All your baby's sucking effort is directed onto the contents of
the teat, so even the weakest suck gets results.
Never floods
Enlarging the hole of an ordinary teat does not solve your
feeding problems. Your baby cannot stop the flow of feed in
order to relax and breathe. Panic and choking soon result.
The SpecialNeeds Feeder has a slit-valve in the mouthpiece
which only opens when your baby sucks. Your baby has
complete control and is never overwhelmed. It also has the
advantage of variable flow. Graduation from a large opening,
down to a shut position, can be achieved to suit the individual
needs of your baby. Whichever opening you select, it will
always shut between sucks.
