At Military Mommies, we can also assist military families with nutritional products if their children have food allergies or other feeding disorders.

 

Enteral feeding is a method of delivering nutrients directly into a person’s stomach or small intestine, either orally or through a feeding tube. There are several reasons that a person would need enteral feeding. Some of the most common reasons include gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, or metabolic disorders, such as Hurler Syndrome, Niemann-Pick disease, and Tay-Sachs disease. Babies who are born prematurely may need enteral feeding, as may children who are failing to thrive due to a variety of medical conditions ranging from a cleft pallet to food allergies to Down Syndrome. Military Mommies wants to continue our support with you no matter what your baby’s feeding journey is.

It is important to remember that every person’s enteral feeding regimen will be different. Some patients will be prescribed enteral nutrition as a supplement to their normal diet, while for others, enteral nutrition will be their sole source of food.

No matter the journey, Military Mommies offers this Enteral Program to support military families in processing these necessary feeding items.
