Approachable, At-breast Supplementation with the Bridge

I created the Bridge because there was a lack of solutions for the most common issues I was seeing in practice. I consistently saw babies who were being supplemented with a bottle due to low supply and issues with latch.

Case study: Northern California Mother/Baby Unit

A Northern California hospital delivered ~1,250 babies during calendar year 2024, and approximately 40% of these newborns received breastfeeding support using the Bridge as a first line of defense (instead of the bottle). Clinicians reported a strong preference for the Bridge—especially in the first days/weeks—as a tool to support maternal satisfaction and the family’s breastfeeding goals

Testimonials

We have a lot of mothers who have a high risk of low milk supply at the hospital, and this was a wonderful bonding tool to promote skin to skin. We also have a high formula rate, and this product really helps encourage supplementation without nipple confusing and promoting mature milk to be produced by the mother.

I have recently been able to try the Neotech Bridge with a patient. The infant was late preterm, and I felt the Bridge was the best option for them. The mother had an initial plan to breast and formula fee, so the Bridge helped cut out the extra step of bottle feeding after nursing which prevents extra calorie burning and reduce the risk of increased weight loss.

I have found this product very useful. As a lactation consultant this helps tremendously with babies struggling with breastfeeding. I cover two of our hospitals and would love if you could possibly send me more samples in order to show upper management the pros of us keeping this product in stock.
