Medela SpecialNeeds Feeder (formerly known as the Haberman Feeder), a specialized 150ml feeding system designed for infants with medical challenges.Â
Key Features and Purpose
Target Users: Specifically designed for babies who cannot create a vacuum for suction due to conditions such as cleft lip/palate, Down Syndrome, Pierre Robin Syndrome, or various neurological and cardiac disorders.
Variable Flow Control:Â The teat features a slit valve that allows the caregiver to regulate milk flow (minimum, medium, or maximum) by simply changing the position of the teat in the baby’s mouth.
Mechanism:Â It rewards even the weakest feeding effort by utilizing compression rather than suction.
Anti-Colic Properties:Â A one-way valve prevents air from entering the teat, reducing gas, wind, and vomiting.
Material:Â Made from BPA-free, latex-free, and phthalate-free materials, including a 100% silicone teat and membrane.Â
