Medela 00901S Supplemental Nursing System | Gentle Supplemental Feeding for Preemies

Medela 00901S Supplemental Nursing System: a flexible option for early feeding

The Medela 00901S Supplemental Nursing System offers a practical, baby-friendly approach when a newborn is still learning to nurse. It provides a gentle way to introduce extra milk while you work with your infant on breastfeeding attempts, without replacing the intimate act of nursing.

Designed to work with expressed milk or formula, this system supports the rhythm of feeding sessions and can be used in a calm home environment or in a clinical setting. The goal is to keep feeding close and natural, giving caregivers options as their baby develops.

How it fits into daily feeding routines

During a session, the baby may latch to the breast while a separate bottle delivers supplemental milk through a soft, visible tubing path. Watching the milk level in the bottle can help you gauge flow and pacing, making each feeding feel more controlled and predictable.

• Allows a caregiver to provide additional milk while the baby continues to breastfeed
• Supports flexibility with expressed milk or formula during early feeding stages

Keep in mind that this system is intended for supplementation and not as a replacement for breastfeeding attempts. It is designed to adapt to different routines as you and your baby explore feeding together.

Daily use tips and setup considerations

• Assemble components with clean hands and verify there are no kinks in the tubing
• Rinse and, if desired, sterilize parts before first use and after daily cleaning

Even with a calm setup, feeding sessions can vary from day to day. Consider using the system during times when both caregiver and baby are ready to focus on the experience of nursing together, such as late afternoon feeds or morning practice sessions.
