Some NICU grads need more help than others. Treatment or early intervention may be necessary in the early years (or throughout life) to set them up to succeed. The NICU journey doesn’t end when you leave the hospital. . . . #premmiebaby #perthbaby #perthfamilies #perthcharity #perthnow #neonatal #nicu #nicubaby #nicugrad #babiesofperth #perthchildrenshospital #perthmums #perthparents #learnandplay #earlyintervention #perthbabies #aussieparents #socialimpact #livewagivewa #KEMH #bornatkingeddies #sjogsubibabies #therapy #physio #OT #speechtherapy

🌟Feeding Tube Awareness Week🌟 . Many babies in the Neonatal Unit are not able to take feeds orally for a variety of reasons. Feeding tubes are therefore essential to sustain life! There are a few different types- . OGT Orogastric tube placed from the mouth to the stomach . NGT Nasogastric tube placed through the nose to the stomach . ND Nasoduodenal tube placed through the nose to the small intestine . NJ Nasojejunal tube similar to an ND however placed further into the small intestine . G Gastric tube placed surgically through the skin directly into the stomach . GJ Gastrojejunal or Transjejunal similar to a G tube however has a second port into the small intestine . J Jejunal tube surgically placed through the skin directly into the small intestine . Most babies have their feeding tube removed before they are discharged, once they have transitioned to full suck feeds. Some babies however do require more permanent tube feeding options. Many older children and adults also have feeding tubes which may be temporary or permanent. . 📸 showing OGT with CPAP 📸 showing NGT with PBF oxygen . . . #tinysparkswa #tubefeeding #awareness #tinybutmighty #premmiebaby #tubefeedingawarenessweek #perthfamilies #neonatal #nicu #nicubaby #nicugrad #babiesofperth #perthchildrenshospital #prematurebaby #pretermbirth #perthmums #perthparents #nicujourney #neonatology #prematurebabies #SJOGSubibabies #perthbabies #borntoosoon #preemie #socialimpact #livewagivewa #surviveandthrive #kingeddies #KEMH
