  • It's normal to feel anxious about bringing your baby home.
  • Learn about your baby's condition, medications and care.
  • Plan for your baby's ongoing medical care when you are home.

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.
