A feeding tube, also known as a gavage tube, is used to give nutrition to infants who cannot eat on their own. The feeding tube is normally used in a hospital, but it can also be used in a home to feed infants. The tube can also be used to give medication to an infant. The feeding tube can be inserted and then removed for each feeding. Alternately it can be an indwelling feeding tube, which means it remains in the infant for multiple feedings. The feeding tube can be used to administer both breast milk and formula.
