This is a device that enables a baby to receive extra milk at the breast rather than by bottle and teat. Two examples are the 'Supplemental Nursing System' (SNS) produced by Medela, which is available in Australia, and the 'Lactaid', which is available from overseas via the Internet.

It consists of a container that is worn on a cord around the mother's neck. Fine tubing carries expressed breastmilk or artificial baby milk from the container to the nipple. When the baby sucks at the breast, milk is drawn through the tubing into his mouth, along with any milk from the breast.
