Medela Special Needs Feeder

The SpecialNeeds bottle is designed for babies who are unable to create a vacuum due to a syndrome or neurological disorder, or who have a cleft lip or palate. It can be combined with two teat sizes.

Feeding Babies with Special Needs

The SpecialNeeds bottle works so that babies who cannot create a vacuum to express milk opt for compression instead. The one-way valve prevents air from entering the teat. The split mechanism allows the caregiver to easily control the milk flow.

It encourages oral feeding in babies.

It generates a variable milk flow, which can be adjusted according to the baby's abilities and efforts.

It responds even to very weak feeding efforts.

It is suitable for babies unable to exert suction.
