For Families: Tube-Feeding Your Baby
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.
