If you and your baby experience feeding issues—including latching problems, low milk supply, or maybe little ones that need a little extra nourishment or help to learn how to feed—then the Silicone Feeding Tube Set could be of assistance to you. It helps you to overcome some of these common issues by connecting a bottle of supplemented milk to your breast via a tube, delivering a constant and controllable flow of milk to baby at the breast. Through the use of the Silicone Feeding Tube, both mother and baby can experience the natural physical sensation of breastfeeding, while encouraging mum's supply and ensuring that baby receives adequate nutrition.
The flow of milk can be carefully controlled by adjusting the strength of your grip on the Gen. 3 Baby Bottle (sold separately), or by using the flow controller for a more consistent rate. Our Silicone Feeding Tube works seamlessly with our Gen. 3 Silicone Baby Bottles and Gen. 3 Bottle Anti-Colic Nipple (sold separately), but may also be used with any other baby bottle equipped with an X-shaped variable flow nipple (see Directions tab). Simply place the bottle in an elevated position higher than the end of the outlet tube to start the flow of milk.

Directions
- Insert the thicker inlet tube into the larger hole of the tube adaptor.
- Insert one end of the thinner outlet tube into the smaller hole of the tube adaptor and the other end into the flow controller.
- Push the inlet tube down through the X-shaped opening on the Variable Flow Nipple and pull it through until it is long enough to reach the milk in the bottle. Attach the nipple to the bottle.
- Place the end of the outlet tube 1-2cm away from your nipple and secure its position with medical tape.

- Squeeze the Gen. 3 Silicone Baby Bottle body to control milk flow. Increase pressure on the bottle to increase the milk flow speed or reduce pressure to slow it down. You can also use the flow controller to manage the milk flow speed, adjusting it to suit your child.
PLEASE NOTE: Other cross-cut teats may be compatible with this product. However, please take caution when using these as the thick inlet tube can tear incompatible teats.
Cleaning & Care
Before first use, disassemble and clean the product before placing non-plastic components in boiling water for 5 mins to sterilise. Wash before and after each subsequent use. To clean the tubing, fill the bottle with warm soapy water and squeeze to let it flow through the tubing. Use the included cleaning brush to scrub the inside of the wider parts of the tubing. To clean the thinner sections of the tubing, squeeze the bottle several times to flush through with warm soapy water. To rinse, flush several times again with clean, fresh water. Repeat as needed until clean.

Frequently asked questions
How to use a Haakaa pump?
Before using a Haakaa pump, it is recommended to sterilise it by boiling in water for 2-3 mins (if you have a steam steriliser, you can use this if you prefer).
Place the pump flange over your nipple - make sure your nipple is centred comfortably in the neck of the pump. You can either fold the flange back and push the body of the pump to achieve a stronger suction or just push the air out by squeezing the pump's body without folding the flange back to get a lighter suction. Remember, the more air you squeeze out, the stronger the suction.
Apply suction - you may need to adjust the position of your pump a couple of times. Once the pump is secure and comfortable, apply suction by squeezing the base of the pump to start the flow of the milk. Once milk starts to flow, leave the pump alone to do its thing.
If milk flow slows down or you have expressed your desired amount, detach the pump from your breast and safely store your milk.
