[Accessories for breastfeeding; supplementary nutritional system for breastfeeding]

Maternal breastfeeding is a physiological process which almost all women are capable of performing. Some special circumstances, such as the adoption of a baby, the problems a baby has sucking, or the temporary interruption of milk secretion, can cause difficulties and this is when the use of the so-called breastfeeding supplements is warranted. We describe the SNS supplementary nutritional system so that health professionals may understand its characteristics, use, and applications and therefore be able to offer women the necessary advise and assistance during breastfeeding.
