More Milk Plus - Liquid Herbal Extracts

Scroll down for Sale Priced Items !

These products are designed to assist mothers who have
a special need for increasing their milk supply

PRODUCTS ORDER FORM

The most effective way to increase milk production is through
appropriate stimulation of either a baby or a breast pump.
A Professional Lactation Consultant should be contacted as soon as
a problem is discerned, to assess a specific cause of insufficient milk supply,
and to help you with a care plan. Early intervention offers best results.

Breastfeeding is the best choice for you and your baby
(see FAQ Why Breastfeed). Don't abandon the important bonding
and health benefits of breastfeeding because of concerns that your
baby is not getting enough milk. (see FAQ Low Breast Milk)

Motherlove's liquid extracts can help! Several of these effective
herbal combinations can increase breast milk within 24 to 48 hours.
These certified organic herbs have been used to increase milk supply in
countries around the world for generations. Our liquid extracts
are tested for bacteria, lead and heavy metals.

A liquid herbal extract is a solution of alcohol and water
that containsthe herb's active constituents.
The American Academy of Pediatrics says that a small amount of alcohol
is compatible with breastfeeding, and that alcohol is out of the breast milk
two hours after consuming. If you find the taste disagreeable,
put the dosage in a small amount of water.

We have these items 'in stock' and can order others from MOTHERLOVE

The BabyChecker Scale - [Rental $30.00 per month]
Helps parents monitor infant weight gain. Accurate to 1/2 ounce.

One of the most common concerns among breastfeeding mothers is
whether their baby is gaining weight and consuming enough breast milk.

Many factors can cause feeding difficulties, and early discharge after
even a healthy delivery can leave a new mother feeling uncertain
about her baby's progress.

The BabyWeigh Scale
[Rental $30. per week - $90. per month]

Measures Milk Intake of Premature and At-Risk Infants

Helps parents measure breast milk intake when recommended by their
health care provider. Sometimes special circumstances jeopardize
consistent breastfeeding, such as infants born prematurely
or with medical problems.

Medela's BabyWeigh Scale accurately determines how much breast milk
a baby has taken at a given feeding. You simply weigh the baby before and
after nursing, and the BabyWeigh calculates the intake.

Feeding Products Help Mothers Nurse Their Babies
With Special Feeding Challenges and Difficulties

  Although most mothers and babies can breastfeed without
special assistance, sometimes occasional help is needed. *
Premature babies, failure-to-thrive babies, and babies with
specific impairments, such as neurological challenges,
may require extra attention.

Infants with severe feeding problems
can also benefit from specialized feeding products.

     Keeping baby at the breast helps preserve the mother-baby
bond that only breastfeeding can create. Products described here are
designed to help you overcome circumstances that might
otherwise impede a successful breastfeeding experience.

* If you need breastfeeding assistance from a lactation professional,
please contact one of our Board Certified Lactation Consultants:
Sharon Mattes, IBCLC, RLC - 972-495-2805
Linda Worzer, IBCLC, RLC - 972-699-3921
for a phone consultation or an individual home or office appointment.

How to Find Breastfeeding Support Services

PRODUCT ORDER FORM

Supplemental Nursing System™ - [$48.00 + tax]

The SNS works by a bottle hung around the mother's neck.
Two tubes are taped to her breasts so that the ends reach her nipples.
The tubes are very small and soft and unnoticed by the baby.
When the baby takes the nipple and areola into his or her mouth,
he/she also takes the tube.

Breastfeeding proceeds normally, maintaining the stimulation
to maintain lactation and intimacy between mother and baby,
as well as providing baby with important supplement from the SNS.

Medela's SNS is a feeding tube device for giving premature, failure to thrive,
impaired or adopted babies long-term supplemental feedings at the breast.

Because it keeps the baby feeding at the breast, the SNS helps
to avoid problems with sustaining the milk supply, as well as
the common challenge of bottle-nipple preference for the baby.

The SNS was originally designed to help adoptive mothers breastfeed.
When a baby sucks on the mother's breast for a period of days or weeks,
a hormonal mechanism is triggered that causes milk to be produced.
This is known as induced lactation.

PRODUCT ORDER FORM

Starter Supplemental Nursing System™ [$17.00 + tax]

The Starter (SNS)Supplemental Nursing System was created as an economical,
short term-use supplemental feeding device.
Using a one-piece collar, teat and tubing, clipped to mom's clothes,
with a soft tube taped near the nipple...the Starter SNS,
like the SNS, keeps the baby on the breast providing supplementation.

PRODUCT ORDER FORM

SoftFeeder - [$25.00 +tax]

Medela's SoftFeeder is a specialty feeding device for infants,
designed for use when health care professionals recommend cup feeding.
Among babies who have breastfeeding difficulties, cups have been shown
to improve the chances for subsequent successful breastfeeding.

The SoftFeeder allows the baby to be fed without developing bottle-nipple
preference or oral confusion until the transition to breastfeeding can be made.

Unlike a regular cup, the Medela SoftFeeder has a control valve and self-refilling
reservoir, which help maintain a steady supply of just the right amount of
breast milk at the lip of the cup. Made of soft, pliable pure silicone,
the feeder is contoured to fit even the smallest mouth.

PRODUCT ORDER FORM

Baby Cup Feeder [set of 5 $16.00 + tax]

Provides breastmilk to infants when cup feeding is recommended.

Features a graduated 1.5 oz small cup with smooth, round edges.
A lid is also provided to allow for easy closure and storage.
Can also be used for oral medication.
