A More Flexible Way to Supplement at the Breast
Discover a more thoughtful approach to supplemental feeding with the Haakaa LatchFlow System™ – 20 mL Dispenser, an innovative feeding solution designed to provide additional nourishment while keeping your baby close at the breast.
Unlike traditional supplemental feeding methods, the LatchFlow System™ offers two versatile feeding options: supplement directly with the feeding tube or use the specially designed nipple shield for a 2-in-1 combination of supplemental feeding and gentle nipple protection.
The soft, squeezable 20 mL silicone dispenser puts milk flow control right in your hands. Simply apply gentle pressure to deliver supplemental milk at a pace suited to your baby's feeding needs. Its compact capacity is ideal for smaller, more frequent feeds, including colostrum, expressed breast milk, or formula.
The innovative double-layered nipple shield is made from ultra-thin medical-grade silicone, providing gentle coverage for sensitive nipples while guiding supplemental milk toward your baby. Its unique cut-out design also encourages closer skin-to-skin contact, helping maintain the special breastfeeding connection.
Thoughtfully designed with easy-to-connect tubing, flexible feeding options, and convenient cleaning and storage accessories, the LatchFlow System™ brings together comfort, control, and versatility in one complete feeding solution.
More than just a supplemental feeding system, LatchFlow helps make every feeding moment feel connected.
