A feeding tube is generally used in premature babies, newborns whose sucking-swallowing coordination has not fully developed, or babies who cannot feed adequately by mouth due to certain health issues. It is a thin silicone tube that runs from the nose or mouth into the stomach.
It is a temporary solution; as the baby grows and the sucking reflex strengthens, it is often no longer needed. During use, breast milk or formula is given through this tube. In cases requiring home care, the health team provides detailed training to the family on usage and care.
As with any medical situation, the decision is made by the pediatrician and neonatologist based on the baby's special needs.
