    Tube-feeding your baby after the NICU

    Even if you are tube-feeding your baby, you can build a strong relationship around feeding. During feeding time:
    • Hold and cuddle your baby.
    • Make eye contact.
    • Talk and sing to your baby.

    You are providing your child with the food he needs to grow and develop.

    For more information about tube-feeding, read Equipment.
