Description

Deciding whether to explore blended tube feeding often raises questions about nutrition and safety. It can be difficult to know whether it is the right option for your child.

Senior paediatric dietitian Kate Dehlsen from Sydney Children's Hospital joins us to talk about the nutritional and practical considerations of blended tube feeding. Kate will help families better understand whether blended feeding is something they'd like to explore with their child's healthcare team.

In this webinar we’ll explore:

How blended tube feeding can support your child's nutritional needs

What families need to know about the benefits, risks and safety considerations

What to consider before introducing blended tube feeding

Practical guidance for preparing and managing blended feeds

This is the final webinar in our two-part blended tube feeding series. Find out more about the first webinar, Blended Tube Feeding Family Panel.
