Benefits
This feeder is designed with clinical expertise and backed by decades of neonatal experience. It allows babies with oral or facial anomalies to feed more comfortably by controlling milk flow with a simple squeeze.

How it Works
The Medela Special Needs Feeder uses a one-way valve mechanism that allows milk to flow only when the baby suckles or when the caregiver applies gentle pressure. This gives the baby full control over the pace and amount of feeding while reducing the risk of aspiration or choking during nursing.
