Abstract


Breast milk is nature ordained food for all newborn babies. Breast feeding offers innumerable benefits to babies. Mother’s and has economic benefits to society. Despite this many mother-baby dyads experience difficult with achieving successful breast feeding. The obstacles can range from lack of support/education. lack of motivation. medical factors. cultural issues and very rarely actual low milk supply. A supplemental nursing system (SNS). also known as a lactation aid. is a device that consists of a container and a capillary tube. It is used to provide additional nutrients to a baby whose mother has low milk supply. During breastfeeding. the end of the tube is placed alongside the mother's nipple so that both the tube and the breast are in the infant's mouth.
