Real food and Tube feeding
Feeding your child via a tube can come with a lot of emotions and complications. You may still be looking for ways to include real food ingredients into your child's diet to maintain a sense of normality. You also think about how to make sure your child is getting the adequate nutrients that will cover all his or her needs. With all these considerations, including real food ingredients in your child's feed can be challenging, time consuming, and at times, you face issues of tube blockage or potential infection. At Nestlé Health Science, we provide you with safe and convenient solutions to help you give your child the best nutrition possible based on ingredients from real food.
Before changing your child’s tube feeding formula, please consult with your healthcare professional for guidance and tailored recommendations.
At Nestlé Health Science, we strive to provide all children with adapted nutritional solutions depending on their needs and condition.
