Celebrating Breastfeeding Awareness Month
In one arm, she clutched her nursing pillow while the other grasped “The Breastfeeding Book” by Dr. Sears.
Her head full of information from the La Leche League and her heart held hopes and wishes to feed her newborn son the same way her mother fed her. It all seemed to be going well, until she brought her baby home.
“My milk wasn’t coming in like my mom said it would. He was nursing around the clock, crying in hunger. Technically, I should have quit,” said Kristin Cavuto, 39, of Edison.
She didn’t quit. Determined not to have any artificial nipples for her baby, Cavuto was finally diagnosed with low prolactin levels and worked with a breastfeeding activist and a supportive doctor who specialized in nursing problems.
“I finally found a way to feed my baby and keeping him on the nipple with breast milk," Cavuto said. "The doctor gave medications which increased my supply and I used milk from a milk bank while utilizing a device that would allow me to keep him on the breast called a SNS (Supplemental Nursing System).”

Has anyone used this device to help with breastfeeding?

Yes, I have tried it and so has my SIL. With her it worked well. She had a c-section and her milk didn't start to come in until 8 days after birth. So she used it to helped supplement for her daughter without having to use bottles.
