Tube feeding

I have a wealth of knowledge and experience with supporting people with a feeding tube. 

I understand the importance of 'normalising' feeding as much as possible. This might include working towards a regime which replicates typical meal times. Or it might be finding a regime which your child can tolerate and give them the all important quality of life they deserve.

I also work closely with families who are trying to wean their child off their feeding tube. This might involve for example, exploring nutritional supplement drinks or diet plans which can help maximise their appetite and intake to reduce reliance on their feeding tube.

I can also support families who are looking at starting or already having a blended diet. I can offer a structured plan detailing how to make that first leap into the blended diet world! 

I can analyse meal plans to make sure they are meeting your child's individual nutritional needs. I can provide meal ideas, which are tailored to individual needs and family dietary choices.

Outside of 1-1 appointments, I have worked with Nestle to help produce some educational videos on practical advice for children who are tube fed.
