Have not given birth yet but plan to breastfeed. Do I really need the Bridge?86% of moms intend to breastfeed but 92% of moms have a problem breastfeeding in the first three days. The Bridge can help you meet your goals if and when you encounter your problem. Instead of giving a bottle, a mother can use the Bridge to supplement at the breast instead. This incentivizes the baby to latch and helps mom build her milk supply. This is especially helpful for moms who have a C-section and have delayed milk supply.
Can the Bridge help build my milk supply?For most moms, milk supply is a function of supply and demand. The more you empty the breast (demand), the more your breast will produce (supply). The Bridge helps keep the baby at the breast, which empties the breast and stimulates the body to produce more breastmilk.
Can the Bridge help with latch?The Bridge provides a surface for your baby to latch on to. This is especially helpful when the baby is having a difficult time sustaining a proper latch. In many cases, while mom works on the latch a bottle is something that the medical team might suggest. Instead of going to a bottle, using the Bridge to feed the baby at the breast can help keep the baby interested in the breast.
Do I need to press down on the syringe for my baby to get the milk?Yes. This feature was made intentionally by our development team. Our goal is to have the baby feed from the breast as much as possible and only use supplement when needed. Our design allows baby to extract as much milk as possible from the breast and gives the caregiver full control over when supplement is given and at what rate.
Can the Bridge help me transition to breastfeeding if my baby prefers bottles?Babies who are fed with a bottle can struggle because they are used to instant gratification that the bottle provides. Using the Bridge allows you to provide supplement as soon as the baby latches to the breast. Once the baby forms an association between feeding at the breast and receiving nutrition they will be more likely to continue feeding at the breast. Another way that the Bridge helps transition from bottle to breast-feeding is by providing a surface for the baby to latch on to. The silicone nipple piece feels similar to the bottle nipple for a baby who has a bottle preference. This familiarity increases the chances of baby latching and suckling at the breast.
