Infant Feeding Supplies for Nursery, NICU and Special Needs Feeding
Infant feeding supplies cover the nipples, bottles, disposable nursers and specialty feeders used to deliver formula and expressed milk to infants, including infants with feeding difficulties. This category stocks standard and slow-flow nipples, single-use nurser systems, gavage and enteral feeding supplies for the NICU, and specialty feeders for infants with cleft palate or oral-motor difficulty. Products are carried for hospital nurseries, neonatal intensive care units, pediatric services and home care.

Flow Rates and Special-Needs Feeding
Nipples are stocked by flow rate - slow, standard, premature and cross-cut - covering the range of infant feeding abilities and formula viscosities. Special-needs feeders such as the Dr Brown's Specialty Feeding System and the Medela Special Needs Feeder use valve or squeeze-assist designs for infants who cannot generate suction, including infants with cleft palate. Disposable single-use nurser systems reduce handling and cleaning in the nursery, and gavage supplies with ENFit connections support NICU tube feeding.
Infant feeding supplies are a high-turnover disposable line in nurseries and NICUs, with single-use nursers and nipples consumed continuously and specialty feeders ordered against a small defined patient group. Steady disposable turnover supports standing orders while special-needs feeders are ordered to census, which together make case pricing central for materials management. MAP Medical stocks nursers, nipples, specialty feeders and gavage supplies under one wholesale account. Order at the best Wholesale Prices with MAP Medical.
Frequently Asked Questions
What nipple flow rates are stocked?
Nipples are stocked in slow-flow, standard, premature and cross-cut flow rates covering a range of infant feeding abilities and formula viscosities. Slow-flow and premature nipples are common for preterm and developing infants, and cross-cut nipples are used with thicker feeds. Nipples are carried both as part of disposable nurser systems and separately.
What special-needs infant feeders are available?
The catalog stocks the Dr Brown's Specialty Feeding System and the Medela Special Needs Feeder (Haberman), both designed for infants who cannot generate normal suction, including infants with cleft palate or oral-motor difficulty. These feeders use valve-controlled or squeeze-assist designs to deliver milk with minimal infant effort. They are carried alongside standard nursers and nipples.
What are disposable nurser systems used for?
Disposable single-use nurser systems are ready-to-use bottles with matched sterile nipples that reduce handling and cleaning in hospital nurseries and NICUs. They are stocked in 2 oz and 4 oz sizes and are compatible with ready-to-feed Similac and Enfamil lines. Single-use systems support closed, single-patient feeding in acute settings.
Can nurseries and NICUs order infant feeding supplies in bulk?
Yes. Infant feeding supplies are stocked in case quantities for hospital nurseries, NICUs, pediatric services, home care programs and licensed distributors. Standing order programs are available for high-turnover disposable nursers and nipples. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What infant feeding supplies should be in a nursery formulary?
A working infant feeding supply formulary typically includes disposable nurser bottles in 2 oz and 4 oz, nipples across slow, standard, premature and cross-cut flow rates, a special-needs feeder for cleft and oral-motor infants, and gavage supplies with ENFit connections for NICU tube feeding. MAP Medical builds consolidated feeding supply formulary packages matched to unit census - contact our team for an assessment.
