The Bridge is a revolutionary product for at-breast supplementation! It features a thin, silicone nipple cover with a built-in channel that attaches to a syringe. Deliver breastmilk or formula. It helps babies latch to the breast and helps promote milk production. It can be used in most circumstances in which a bottle would traditionally be used.
Directions for Use
Step 1
Fill syringe with milk or formula and twist onto the purple Neotech Bridge connector.
Step 2
Invert the Bridge and center over the nipple. Fold Bridge down onto the breast to create a seal.
Step 3
Latch the baby onto the Bridge.
Step 4
Depress syringe to deliver milk as needed.
Step 5
Clean and sanitize regularly as directed. Replace Bridge after one week or 20 washes, whichever is sooner.
Cleaning

Separate and rinse all parts, including syringe plunger, under running water to wash away milk residue.
Step 2
Soak all separate parts in warm soapy water for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Reinsert the plunger into the syringe and fill with warm soapy water. Connect to Bridge and extension tubing (if used). Flush and repeat several times.
Step 4
Fill syringe with clean water and reconnect to Bridge and extension tubing (if used). Flush and repeat several times.
Step 5
Fill syringe with air and reconnect to Bridge and extension tubing (if used). Force air through tubing several times to remove water droplets.
Step 7
