Meet Ash ๐Ÿ’›

As part of our product launch, we formed a focus group of tube feeding families across Australia to test out the Aums Arm and Ash was one of our OGs!

Here's what Ash's mum, Kirsty, had to say:

๐Ÿ“ฃ "I honestly can't fault the Aums Arm, it's actually been a life saver! I love that I can have my arms free to cuddle Ash while I feed him and my arm doesn't get sore holding the syringe up for ages. It's an absolute game changer!!"

Who wouldn't want to steal extra cuddles whenever you can get the chance?! ๐Ÿซถ

Our product was tried and tested to ensure it was fit for purpose, fit for use in YOUR home and while you're out and about.

๐ŸŒŸ WTF: Why Tube Feed? - Series Wrap Up ๐ŸŒŸ

Over the last few days, weโ€™ve shared the many reasons why children (and adults) may need a feeding tube:
๐Ÿ’› Swallowing difficulties
๐Ÿ’› Prematurity or low birth weight

๐Ÿ’› Structural or medical issues
๐Ÿ’› Medical treatments
๐Ÿ’› Nutritional support

What do they all have in common?
๐Ÿ‘‰ Feeding tubes keep people safe, nourished and thriving.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Theyโ€™re not a sign of weakness - theyโ€™re a lifeline.

To every tube feeding family: you are not alone. ๐Ÿซถ
Thereโ€™s a whole community standing beside you, including us here at NaisCo, walking a similar path and cheering you on through the challenges and victories.

At NaisCo, we see you. We support you. And weโ€™re here to make the journey just that little bit easier. ๐Ÿ’›

๐ŸŒŸ WTF: Why Tube Feed? ๐ŸŒŸ

Sometimes, the challenge isnโ€™t swallowing safely or recovering from treatment - itโ€™s simply about getting enough in. ๐Ÿ’›

Babies, children, or even adults may need a feeding tube when:
๐Ÿ‘‰ They canโ€™t take in enough calories by mouth to grow or heal.
๐Ÿ‘‰ They struggle to stay hydrated with fluids alone.
๐Ÿ‘‰ They rely on medications or supplements that are best delivered through a tube.

How is this diagnosed?
๐Ÿ”Ž Growth charts and regular weigh-ins help doctors see if a child is falling behind.
๐Ÿ”Ž Blood tests may reveal dehydration or nutrient deficiencies.
๐Ÿ”Ž A dietitian might recommend tube feeding to bridge the gap between whatโ€™s eaten and what the body really needs.

โœจ Feeding tubes provide the fuel for growing, playing, healing and thriving.
Because every child deserves the chance to flourish - with the right support. ๐ŸŒฑ

๐Ÿ“ฃ Share to remind others that feeding tubes arenโ€™t weakness - theyโ€™re a tool for strength and nourishment.

๐ŸŒŸ WTF: Why Tube Feed? ๐ŸŒŸ

Sometimes, itโ€™s not a lifelong condition that leads to tube feeding - itโ€™s the treatment itself. ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ‘‰ Children (and adults) undergoing chemotherapy, major surgery or battling serious illness may not be able to eat or drink safely.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Side effects like nausea, mouth sores, fatigue or a healing digestive system can make oral feeding painful, unsafe or simply impossible.

How is this managed?
๐Ÿ”Ž Doctors and dietitians often recommend tube feeding temporarily to make sure the body gets the energy and nutrients it needs during recovery.
๐Ÿ”Ž Feeding tubes can be used in hospital or at home, offering vital support until eating by mouth is safe again.

For many families, a tube isnโ€™t a step backward - itโ€™s a lifeline that makes recovery possible.

๐Ÿ’› Tube feeding during treatment means strength, healing and hope.

๐ŸŒŸ WTF: Why Tube Feed? ๐ŸŒŸ

Continuing on our WTF series...

Sometimes, babies are born with medical or structural differences that make eating by mouth difficult, unsafe or impossible. ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ‘‰ Conditions like a cleft palate, oesophageal atresia (where the food pipe hasnโ€™t formed correctly) or complex gut problems mean that swallowing and digesting food canโ€™t happen in the usual way.

๐Ÿ‘‰ For these children, feeding tubes are not optional - theyโ€™re essential for survival, growth and development.

Diagnosis is usually made early:
๐Ÿ”Ž A cleft palate is often identified at birth.
๐Ÿ”Ž Oesophageal atresia is usually diagnosed in the newborn period when feeding difficulties or choking occur, confirmed with imaging.
๐Ÿ”Ž Gut problems (like motility issues or short bowel syndrome) may require specialist investigations such as contrast studies, scopes or surgical assessments.

For families, tube feeding provides a safe bridge to nutrition and hydration while babies undergo surgery, treatment or long-term management.

๐Ÿ’› Feeding tubes donโ€™t represent failure - they represent resilience, medical progress and a way for children to thrive despite huge challenges.

๐ŸŒŸ WTF: Why Tube Feed? ๐ŸŒŸ

Our third day exploring the reasons why a little may need to tube feed... Today, it's all about neuro!

Sometimes, the brain and muscles donโ€™t work together the way they need to for safe eating and drinking. ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ‘‰ Children with conditions like cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury, genetic syndromes, or progressive muscle weakness may find it difficult to coordinate sucking, chewing and swallowing.
๐Ÿ‘‰ This can put them at risk of aspiration (food or fluid entering the airway) or mean they simply canโ€™t eat enough by mouth to meet their nutritional needs.

Feeding tubes provide a safe and reliable way to deliver nutrition, hydration and medication, ensuring these kiddos can grow, develop and participate fully in life. ๐ŸŒฑ

Diagnosis is often guided by a multidisciplinary team - speech pathologists assess swallowing, neurologists and paediatricians evaluate motor control, and dietitians monitor growth and nutrition. Together, they determine if tube feeding is the safest path forward.

๐Ÿ’› Remember: tube feeding here isnโ€™t about limitation - itโ€™s about opportunity. A way to thrive when oral feeding isnโ€™t enough.

๐ŸŒŸ WTF: Why Tube Feed? ๐ŸŒŸ

Yesterday, we explored swallowing difficulties as a reason for why littles may need to tube feed. Today, we recognise premature and low birth weight bubs...

Some babies arrive earlier than expected or smaller than their little bodies are ready for ๐Ÿ’›. When this happens, they may not yet have the strength, coordination, or stamina to safely feed by mouth.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Premature babies often havenโ€™t fully developed the ability to suck, swallow and breathe in a safe rhythm.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Low birth weight babies can tire easily, making it difficult to take in enough nutrition by breastfeeding or bottle feeding alone.

Thatโ€™s where feeding tubes come in - providing a safe, reliable way to make sure these tiny fighters get the calories, nutrients and hydration they need to grow, thrive and catch up. ๐ŸŒฑ

Diagnosis is usually made by neonatologists and paediatricians in the NICU or postnatal wards. Care teams may use swallow studies, growth monitoring and feeding assessments to determine if tube feeding is necessary and for how long.

๐Ÿ’› Tube feeding here isnโ€™t a setback - itโ€™s a bridge. A way of supporting babies until theyโ€™re strong enough to feed on their own.

โœจ WTF: Why Tube Feed? โœจ

One of the most common reasons a little may need a feeding tube is because of swallowing difficulties (also known as dysphagia).

For some littles, eating and drinking by mouth isnโ€™t safe because food or liquid can โ€œgo down the wrong wayโ€ into the lungs (called aspiration). This can lead to serious complications like chest infections or pneumonia.

โœจ What causes swallowing difficulties?
Swallowing issues can be due to:
๐Ÿ’› Structural differences (e.g. a laryngeal cleft)
๐Ÿ’› Neurological conditions affecting coordination
๐Ÿ’› Prematurity or underdeveloped swallow reflexes
๐Ÿ’› Muscle weakness or fatigue

โœจ How is it diagnosed?
Swallowing difficulties are often identified with a barium swallow study, where a little eats or drinks small amounts of liquid/food mixed with contrast while X-rays are taken. This test is usually overseen by a speech pathologist and results may lead to further assessment by an ENT specialist or other medical team members.

๐Ÿ’› When swallowing isnโ€™t safe, tube feeding steps in to provide the nutrition, hydration and medication a little needs to grow and thrive - without the risk of aspiration.
