Default Re: Failure to thrive
I work with a lot of kids that are tube fed as a result of failure to thrive.

I guess it's worth remembering that enteral feeding is not permanent. If bub isn't getting enough nutrients then bub won't grow and develop (which, obv, is important.) I dont see why "jumping to tube feeds" is a bad thing when the baby's entire life and development is at stake.
