Remember that mealtimes are about connection, safety, and trust. What we celebrate at the table should be those things! When those are established, progress has a way of finding itself. Continue to encourage parents to celebrate their children!

Interested in utilizing homemade blends but don't know much on the research?
Now available On Demand, Homemade Blended Formula: Then and Now with Marsha Dunn Klein, OTR/L, M. Ed., FAOTA and Betsy Hjelmgren, MS, RDN, CSP, LDN.

We'll trace the remarkable journey of blended tube feeding—beginning with determined parents in the early 2000s who pioneered homemade blends, leading to today's expanded options including commercial food-based formulas. Today, parents and clinicians have more options to nourish tube fed children (and adults) well. Our goal is to share this history while increasing your confidence in using real food approaches for tube-fed individuals.

These are all excellent strategies for helping families embrace g-tube feeding! Many families we work with feel overwhelmed and anxious when their child first receives a feeding tube. Unfortunately, they often don't receive adequate education about the versatility and benefits of tube feeding. Sharing these ideas can help families see the tube as a valuable tool with multiple uses—not just a medical necessity for promoting weight gain.
Let's support families in reframing how they view feeding tubes: as sources of empowerment and relief rather than limitations.
