Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Haakaa Supplemental Feeding Tube & Pouch Set designed for?
The Haakaa Supplemental Feeding Tube & Pouch Set is designed to assist mothers and babies facing breastfeeding challenges, such as latching difficulties or low milk supply. It allows for the delivery of supplemental milk directly at the breast, promoting a natural breastfeeding experience while ensuring the baby receives adequate nutrition.
How does the feeding tube system work?
The system connects a bottle of supplemented milk to the breast via a feeding tube. As the baby suckles, milk is drawn through the tube into their mouth, combining the mother's milk with the supplemental milk. This method encourages the baby's natural sucking reflex and can help stimulate the mother's milk production.
Is the Haakaa Supplemental Feeding Tube & Pouch Set safe for my baby?
Yes, the feeding tube is made from food-grade silicone and is free from BPA, PVC, and phthalates, ensuring safety for your baby.
Can the flow of milk be controlled during feeding?
Yes, the set includes a flow controller that allows you to adjust the milk flow to suit your baby's needs. Additionally, if used with the Haakaa Gen. 3 Silicone Baby Bottle, you can control the flow by adjusting the pressure on the bottle body.
Is the Haakaa Supplemental Feeding Tube & Pouch Set compatible with other baby bottles?
While designed to work seamlessly with Haakaa Gen. 3 Silicone Baby Bottles, the feeding tube can also be used with other baby bottles that have an X-shaped variable flow nipple. However, it's important to ensure compatibility to prevent damage to the nipple.
How do I clean the feeding tube set after use?
After each use, connect the tube to a sterilized baby bottle filled with clean hot water and flush the water through the tubes to rinse out any milk residue. Use the provided cleaning brush to scrub the inside of the larger tube. Finally, sterilize the components by boiling them in water for 2-3 minutes.
Can using the feeding tube help increase my milk supply?
Yes, by allowing the baby to suckle at the breast while receiving supplemental milk, the feeding tube can help stimulate the mother's milk production through the natural sucking reflex.
Is the feeding tube discreet to use in public?
Yes, the feeding tube is designed to be long and slim, allowing for inconspicuous and discreet use during breastfeeding sessions.
What should I do if I experience difficulties using the feeding tube set?
If you encounter challenges using the feeding tube set, it's recommended to consult with a lactation consultant or healthcare professional for personalized guidance and support.
