My daughter was born with a unilateral cleft lip and palate on her left side. We had no idea because we were never able to see her face on the ultrasounds due to positioning. The moment I found out my main concern was feeding my baby girl. I didn’t know if she would have feeding difficulties I didn’t know anything about it. I tried breast feeding but it made everything way more stressful at the time. The NICU nurses gave us these Medela bottles and they work amazing. It was hard at first. Its a difficult bottle to get the hang of and I had to try a few different things and angles and pressures to squeeze it. It took me a week to figure out how to even use it properly because the nurses in the hospital weren’t familiar with it. The moment it changed and got easier for me was when I researched this bottle. I found a video from the lady who created this bottle. She explains how and why it works and how to use it. I While your baby is learning to drink and suck and swallow it is more difficult at times and what worked best for me was just taking the time while I'm feeding my baby to focus on what she was doing with her mouth. I realized I can feel her movements and when she wanted to drink and wanted to stop. Its super important with this bottle to pay extra attention to when your baby is ready for a break to get a breath for a second in between swallows. The milk only comes out as you squeeze the nipple and you can see how much is coming out if you squeeze it in front of you first as a test. The cons is they only go to 5 ounces, theres no cap, and its probably ideal for just mom and dad to use since theres a lil bit of a learning curve compared to other bottles. We ended up getting some of the Dr.Brown Specialty Feeder Bottles thick and thin ones, the thin ones work perfectly for my baby girl and they hold 4 or 10-12 ounces I think. They just have a little blue insert that goes in the nipple and I think slows the milk flow for them. I wish I had all the bottles the say she was born just to try them because the Dr.Browns are easier to use and everyone else can help feed her if needed. However these Medela bottles dont leave her as gassy as the Dr.Brown bottles do. I still use these bottles and they are my personal favorite to use when I feed her but I mostly use them at night now because if I leave them and they tip over they dont leak. The Dr.Brown bottles leak everywhere if the fall over without a lid!! If you have a baby with a cleft I think you should try this bottle at least once. They may like it due to the fact that they dont have to work as hard to drink but I know practice makes perfect. Also no matter what bottle you use. I’ve found that the more often I burp her, the more content and happy she seems. She will burp 2 times from half an ounce sometimes. If you read this review thank you and I hope it helped you in any way and if your angel was born with any abnormalities just remember to be extra patient and extra loving. Thanks the support and help you are given by others and thank yourself because you are doing great and your baby is beautiful and so blessed to have an amazing parent doing the best they can do with what they have to work with.♥️ Review: Fantastic bottle for special needs - We bought these bottles for our 6-week old daughter who has a cleft of the hard palate and is unable create suction to nurse or use a regular bottle. We initially used the much less expensive squeeze bottles from mead-johnson, but they were a pain to clean and warm, and it was difficult to tell how much we were squeezing into her mouth. It was also very time consuming and she would tire quickly before she got enough milk. We've used the Haberman nipples for over 2 months and love them. Baby compresses the nipple with gums/tongue, which releases milk into her mouth and then fills the nipple chamber via a one-way valve. The nipple can be rotated in baby's mouth to vary flow rate, which is indicated by a raised line on the nipple (at night I just feel with my finger to make sure I have it in her mouth correctly). The nipples needed to be broken in and we still had to squeeze the milk into her mouth until the nipples became a bit softer and she became strong enough to compress the nipple (she is almost 4 months now and can do this on all but one nipple). We bought one mini-feeder, which just has a shorter nipple than the regular feeder. The mini was great when she was smaller because she could compress it early on, but then the nipple split. Not sure why, but we had to stop using it. We use these with a glass Evenflo bottle rather than the one it came with. We use an Avent bottle warmer because the top of the bottle warmer allows the extra-long nipple to poke out of the top. We bought 5, but since they can go on any standard bottle you could probably get away with just 2 or 3. Finally, the nipples are a bit of a pain to clean. The product insert says to not use a nipple cleaner and so I just soak them in warm, soapy wate, and then use a wet paper towel to gently clean the inside. I recommend this nipple to anyone who has a baby that can't nurse/suck. ## Features - Medela Haberman Feeder ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001LIQ018 | | Age Range Description | Baby | | Best Sellers Rank | #18,420 in Baby ( See Top 100 in Baby ) #328 in Baby Bottles | | Bottle Nipple Type | Vented | | Bottle Type | Specialized Feeding Aid | | Brand | Medela | | Capacity | 150 Milliliters | | Color | Yellow | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (459) | | Dish Washer Safe | No | | Is the item microwaveable? | Yes | | Item Weight | 0.1 Pounds | | Liquid Flow Speed | Variable Flow | | Manufacturer | Medela | | Number of Items | 1 | | UPC | 020451062006 | | Unit Count | 5.1 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Bottle Nipple Type:** Vented - **Brand:** Medela - **Capacity:** 150 Milliliters - **Color:** Yellow - **Item Weight:** 1.6 ounces ## Images ![Medela SpecialneedsTM Feeder 150ml - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41NyN1AVQPL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this come with a feeder cap?** A: Place a nipple ring on a collection tube, and slide it over the Haberman for a makeshift cap **Q: Can the top portion be used with other bottle bases? Looking to use a bottle that’s made from glass** A: Yes it can. We got cheap bottles from dollar tree to do this. **Q: Dimensions? Specifically height if standing vertically, without the yellow ring.** A: We have the 250ml bottle and its 6 inches from neck to bottom **Q: Does this product help a tongue tie baby to feed from the bottle?** A: I use this bottle mostly for flow control. It can work with some tongue tied babies depending on the type of tongue tie. I am a speech language pathologist who works with infant feeding. I strongly encourage you to seek out a SLP fior a feeding consult and to assess if your infant's lingual frenulum should be clipped. Not all ENT or peds docs rush to have them clipped but a feeding SLP will know immediately if your child needs it clipped :if your baby cannot latch on to breast feed /bottle feed to meet their nutritional needs. OR if the cough OR HAVE WET CRIES WHEN FEEDING- please let your MD know immediately. Good luck ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing bottle.

My daughter had such an awful time trying to even take a bottle . She would chug and gulp down so much air it sounded awful even with pace feeding . This bottle has been an absolute miracle for her, she has lip and tongue tie and a very high palate. She gets absolutely NO air with this bottle . It has the perfect stream of milk and only comes out when she sucks . It actually mimics the breast honestly. I’d highly recommend it. The price is a bit much but as awful of s time as she was having with every bottle we tried , this was very much worth every dollar ! I’d hugbwho ever made the bottle ## Frequently Bought Together - Medela SpecialneedsTM Feeder 150ml - Pigeon Baby Cleft Palate Bottle with 2 Nipples, 8.11 Oz, Please Use It Under The Guidance of a Pediatrician - Medela Special Needs Feeder Teat --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/5062780-medela-specialneedstm-feeder-150ml](https://www.desertcart.de/products/5062780-medela-specialneedstm-feeder-150ml) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
