Our daughter has been on a feeding tube since she was two days old and has had a mic-key button since she was about 6 weeks old. I went to a workshop for parents of kids with feeding tubes at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego with Marsha Dunn Klein of Mealtime Notions around early 2007.

I added my notes as an info page. Some of the key points we took away:

• Tube feeding should be social, like a meal time
• Should be celebrating experience with food (touch, smell, etc, not just eating)
• It’s not about how much at first

Hope the notes can help someone and if you have notes from a workshop or seminar that you attended that may help someone else, please feel free to add them using the Create an Info Page link.
