Spoobie Demonstration

HELP INFANTS GET THE NUTRITION THEY NEED

The Spoobie™ is a breastfeeding friendly spoon designed to facilitate the initiation and continuation of breastfeeding. The unique grooved lip provides a structured and direct path for the infant’s tongue. The curvature conforms to the natural curve of the infant’s lip/gum line, allowing for full, unobstructed tongue extension. Conditioning the tongue to extend out as far as possible creates a better breastfeeder and helps mom make more milk.

Instructions to fill:

Colostrum: Hold Spoobie™ with open end of spoon facing upward, directly under nipple.

Mature Milk: Hold Spoobie™ directly over nipple, spoon side down and perform normal hand expression.

 

Instructions to feed:

1. Gently tip spoon so that breast mink flows into the spoon reservoir.
2. Bring Spoobie™ under infant's nose and allow him to smell breast milk.
3. Observe infant's tongue passing through channel to 'lap' up milk.

Tips:

1. Mature milk is thin and may flow quickly from tube to spoon. Tilt spoon to maintain flow of milk into spoon reservoir.
2. Hold Spoobie™ as you would a pencil, between thumb and forefinger, right below reservoir.
