Tube Feeding and Home Enteral Nutrition Support
Compassionate tube feeding solutions for your child's health.
Understanding Enteral Nutrition
Enteral nutrition, or tube feeding, is essential for children who cannot meet their nutritional needs through oral intake alone. This method ensures they receive the necessary nutrients for growth and development.
Our paediatric dietitians provide support for children requiring enteral nutrition, focusing on creating tailored feeding plans that meet their unique needs and improve their overall health and well-being.
How can a Dietitian help?
Our experienced paediatric dietitians offer comprehensive support for children requiring enteral nutrition. We begin with a thorough assessment of your child’s medical history, nutritional needs, hospital discharge home enteral nutrition plan, and current health status. Based on this evaluation, we develop a customised enteral feeding plan, selecting the appropriate formula and feeding schedule to suit your lifestyle and ensure optimal nutrition.
Our dietitians provide ongoing monitoring and adjustments to the feeding plan as needed, addressing any complications or concerns that may arise.
We also offer education and support to families, teaching proper tube care, formula preparation, and feeding techniques. Our goal is to make the tube feeding process as smooth and stress-free as possible, ensuring your child receives the best possible care and nutrition.
