Product Description
In case of severe feeding problems, the SpecialNeeds Feeder offers an alternative to spoons, enlarged and/or extra holes in bottle nipples, and nasogastric tubes. It is so effective and easy to use that it can change feeding sessions from difficult or traumatic experiences into a pleasurable activity for health care professionals, parents and babies. Special design features make the SpecialNeeds Feeder uniquely responsive to the baby's nursing efforts. The slit-valve in the teat regulates milk flow from zero to maximum, depending on its orientation in the baby's mouth. As milk is drawn out of the teat by even the slightest action of the baby's tongue and gums, air enters the bottle at the same rate through an inlet groove in the disc. Consequently, there is no turbulence. Milk flows in only one direction- from bottle to teat. The reservoir always remains full, and none of the baby's effort is wasted.
