Are you looking for pediatric feeding tube & weaning experts for an upcoming story?
Our Pediatric Feeding Tube & Weaning Experts, aka feeding specialists, dietitians, social workers, and parent coaches, provide parents of tube-fed children a path towards joyful, relaxed oral eating while providing the support their families need throughout the process.
Because there is no “standard of care” around feeding tubes, and certainly not around weaning, tens of thousands of children – and their families – remain on feeding tubes beyond medical necessity.
Those who receive therapy discover that the approaches used on tube-fed children are too often ineffective, incomplete, or even harmful.
