Specialized feeders designed for babies with facial or oral problems that hamper their ability to nurse. Variable flow rate controlled by feeder and baby. Sensitive to baby's feeding efforts. One-way valve prevents flooding. Mini-SpecialNeeds teat is smaller for smaller babies. Sterile packaging. Write-on surface for easy labeling Review: it requires the baby to use his/her jaw and nurse at the bottle just like breastfeeding. I did this test on a couple ... - We attended a breastfeeding class at the hospital and were told by the lactation consultants that this bottle is the only acceptable one for breastfeeding babies. It does not drip from the nipple when you turn it upside down... it requires the baby to use his/her jaw and nurse at the bottle just like breastfeeding. I did this test on a couple of other bottles I bought that claimed to be good for breastfeeding babies and ALL dripped. I ordered this one before my baby was born to have on hand so dad could help with night feedings. After having latch problems we switched to mostly bottle feeding and this bottle was perfect for transitioning a breastfed baby to a bottle. It leaks a bit and is a bit tricky to operate... especially in dim lighting because there are very hard to see lines in the clear plastic of the nipple that you have to line up with babies nose. BUT for what we needed it for it was perfect. After a few weeks we switched to a slow flow nipple. Review: Great beginner bottle - This is a great beginner bottle for infants with a cleft lip palate, atleast for the first couple weeks. We used this for two weeks but had to change to Dr.Browns as our little one developed a sore in his mouth from the nipple friction. This bottle taught him and us how to adjust feeding for a cleft lip palate. I think it is over priced since there isn't anything like it on the market. ## Features - Medela Haberman Feeder ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000X4JDH4 | | Age Range Description | Baby | | Best Sellers Rank | #42,163 in Baby ( See Top 100 in Baby ) #690 in Baby Bottles | | Bottle Nipple Type | Vented | | Bottle Type | Special Needs Feeder | | Brand | Medela | | Capacity | 80 Milliliters | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (287) | | Dish Washer Safe | No | | Item Weight | 0.15 Pounds | | Liquid Flow Speed | Variable Flow | | Manufacturer | Medela | | Material Type Free | BPA Free | | Number of Items | 1 | | UPC | 020451060002 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Bottle Nipple Type:** Vented - **Brand:** Medela - **Capacity:** 80 Milliliters - **Item Weight:** 0.15 Pounds - **Material Type Free:** BPA Free ## Images ![Medela Special Needs Feeder with 80ml Collection Container #6000s - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31loxQRuJDL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this used?** A: I ordered this for my niece who has a cliff palet baby ..this is what the Dr. recommended..guess it worked OK **Q: Can i just replace the normal nipple with this feeder? Or do I need anything else to complete the feeding by using this feeder? Thanks** A: The nipple alone can be replaced. The nipple collar that comes with this set only works with the Special Needs Feeder nipple. Medela bottles, 80cc, 150cc, and 250cc sizes, are interchangeable between this system and the regular bottle feeding system. **Q: is this the standard or mini size nipple??** A: It's a standard size nipple called pigeon nipple **Q: do you ship to spain europe?** A: Unfortunately the answer is "No". Medela does not allow their vendors to ship products outside the USA or to freight forwarders. If you go to Medela's web site they do have a link to their sites for European countries. That way you can find their products closer to home. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ it requires the baby to use his/her jaw and nurse at the bottle just like breastfeeding.

I think it is over priced since there isn't anything like it on the market. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great if you cut it *by S***A on February 6, 2013* We tried every type of nipple/bottle we could find before we tried this one because of the cost. Ultimately, this one was the one that worked best for our son who has a cleft in both his soft and hard palates. It took him about 3 days to really get the hang of the haberman nipple (I'd say most of it was our timing with squeezing). One reviewer said you need a super baby to suck the nipple...the idea behind the haberman is for babies who cannot suck! In order to use the haberman, baby has to bite it, which is counter-intuitive because they are born with the instinct to nurse and suckle, not bite. Until your baby gets used to it, you will have to squeeze, and the timing of that is hard at first, but you get used to it. Once he got comfortable, he started getting frustrated that we weren't going fast enough, so we switched him to the "fast flow" and it still wasn't enough...so we did the thing they say not to do...we cut it! Not much at all, but we just expanded the slit a teeny bit and it made a world of difference! Some common complaints I've found on group chats is that they leak. Well, it's not going to create a perfect seal because of the membrane. I found that Medela and Evenflo bottles work best and we tighten it pretty tightly and have no leaks. Even his daycare provider has no issues. I bought 5 of these and then just the replacement teats as needed (you can use the ring and white membrane over and over if you keep them clean and intact). If I could do it all over again, I'd only buy 3 of these because we are only on our second white membrane and our son is 7 months old and will get his cleft repaired at one year. No matter what nipple/feeder/bottle you settle on, don't give up on any of them until you've tried for at least 72 hours. I know that sounds hard and this is so overwhelming, but every speech therapist we talked to recommended this and I'm glad they did because we wouldn't have stuck with the Haberman otherwise. Our son was failure to thrive due to difficulty feeding and they wanted to put a G-tube in him at 6 weeks. My pedi gave me 2 weeks to get him to gain weight and we did this. He is now 18.5lbs at 7 months. Every baby is different. Hang in there! I also highly recommend joining a support group like cleftsmile.org and ccakids.com...both groups are on FB. My son also has a craniofacial anomaly that contributed to his cleft palate and they have provided a wealth of info and support. ## Frequently Bought Together - Medela Special Needs Feeder with 80ml Collection Container #6000s - Medela SpecialneedsTM Feeder 150ml - Pigeon Baby Cleft Palate Bottle with 2 Nipples, 8.11 Oz, Please Use It Under The Guidance of a Pediatrician --- ## 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.uy/products/5062781-medela-special-needs-feeder-with-80ml-collection-container-6000s](https://www.desertcart.uy/products/5062781-medela-special-needs-feeder-with-80ml-collection-container-6000s) --- *Product available on Desertcart Uruguay* *Store origin: UY* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
