Enteral nutrition

Tube feeding is a special form of nutrition for children and adolescents with disabilities who have difficulties consuming adequate food. The nutrition is delivered directly into the child's stomach or intestines through a tube. Tube feeding comes in various forms, such as liquid or puree. It contains all the necessary nutrients to support the child's growth and health. The dosage and type of tube feeding are determined in consultation with a doctor or nutritionist to ensure that the child's individual needs are met. Tube feeding can be a good solution to ensure adequate nutrition, especially when the child has difficulties consuming solid food or chewing.
