Our team of experienced consultants understands the challenges and concerns that come with tube feeding, and we are here to support you every step of the way. During a Preparation Tube Weaning consultation, we will work closely with you to assess your baby's feeding patterns and identify any underlying issues that may be contributing to their reliance on the tube.
Our approach is personalized and tailored to meet the specific needs of your baby. We will take the time to understand your baby's medical history, feeding history, behaviors, and any other factors that may be impacting their feeding. This thorough evaluation allows us to create a customized plan that addresses your baby's unique needs and sets them up for a successful tube wean.
Our goal is to support your baby in developing the skills and confidence needed to feed orally and gradually reduce their reliance on the tube.
At the end of the Preparation Tube Weaning consultation, you will have a clear understanding of your baby's feeding challenges and a personalized plan to address them. Our goal is to help your baby thrive and reach their full potential without the need for a feeding tube.
Preparation Tube Weaning Consultation

You will receive daily support from your consultant, via email only.
Unless otherwise agreed to between yourself and your consultant at the time of your appointment, support days are to be used as follows:

· For 30 minutes per day (which can be spaced out through a 24hour period).

If the support days are not used within the 2 week period, they will be forfeited.
