The FAQ On Toddler Tubes

The FAQ on Toddler Tubes

What is a toddler feeding tube?

Commonly known as a gavage tube is primarily used to give nutrition to infarcts who have failed to breastfeed on their own. However, they are mostly used in hospitals; they can as well be used in homes to feed toddlers. Besides, they are used to give medication to infants. When feeding or giving an infant medication, a toddler tube is inserted and removed after the end of each exercise.

When precisely, the infant does require the tube?

The tube is used to feed infants lacking enough strength or have poor muscle coordination to feed on their bottles. Other reasons include:

 Respiratory distress
 Gastrin or abdominal defects
 Weak sucking capability and poor swallowing reflex
 Irregular weight gain patterns
 Electrolyte imbalances

Briefly, while you discover an infant with the above characteristics, seek medication, and use a toddler tube to feed them.
