Summary

This is a randomized controlled trial comparing the SNS to bottle feeding. This study will compare exclusive breastfeeding rates and breast milk feeding rates at discharge, day of life 14, and day of life 28 between neonates hospitalized in the NICU for hyperbilirubinemia between those who receive supplementation by the (SNS) or those who receive supplementation by bottle. Additionally, this study will evaluate mothers' experiences while using the SNS. We hypothesize mothers who utilize the SNS will have higher rates of breast milk feeding compared to mothers who supplement by bottle.

Conditions

  • Breast Feeding, Exclusive

Interventions

DEVICE

Supplemental Nursing System

The SNS is a device designed to deliver supplemental milk by suckling at the mother's nipple. A specially designed bottle attaches to the mother's breast and serves as the reservoir for milk. Attached to the bottle is a small tube which runs down to and is placed on the tip of the mother's nipple. With an adequate latch the neonate obtains supplementation by suckling. Additionally, this suckling stimulates milk production (Lawrence \& Lawrence, 2016).
