Product details

The SpecialNeeds feeder is designed for babies who are unable to create a vacuum due to certain syndromes and neurological disorders, or because they were born with a cleft lip or palate.

The SpecialNeeds Feeder can be used with teats of two different sizes.

Feeding babies with special needsThe line mark on the teat helps the caregiver to find the right position (three different flows).The slit valve makes the teat sensitive to any feeding effort and closes completely when the baby wants to pause. The one-way valve prevents air from entering the teat.The SpecialNeeds Feeder comes in the standard size. If the baby’s oral cavity size requires the smaller Mini SpecialNeeds teat, the teat can simply be replaced.The SpecialNeeds Feeder can be reused after it has been cleaned in accordance with the instructions for use.

The Medela SpecialNeeds Feeder is designed for babies who are unable to create a vacuum due to syndromes, neurological disorders, or congenital conditions such as cleft lip or palate. It supports oral feeding for infants with special needs.

The feeder is suitable for use when a baby has difficulty feeding traditionally, especially if they require a controlled and gentle feeding method due to their specific medical conditions or oral development.
