How to Bolus Feed?

• Clean your hands.
• If you own a low-profile feeding tube, prime the extension tubing to eliminate any air before connecting it to the feeding tube. Priming the tubing helps block air from entering your stomach and creating distress.
  • Clamp the extension set.
  • Remove the syringe's plunger and connect the needle to the extension tubing.
• Fill the syringe with about 15 mL of the formula.
  • Unclamp the extension set and let the formula flow just to the end of the tubing before clamping it.
  • Connect the feeding tube to the extension set.
• If you have a gastrostomy tube, flush your tube with water.
  • Take out the syringe's plunger.
  • Connect your feeding tube to the syringe.
  • Fill the syringe with 10-15 mL of water and let it flow through your tube.
• Rinse the outside of your formula vessel with a neat towel and open it.
• One hand is used to hold the tube and syringe.
• Gradually pour the formula into the syringe with your other hand. Please leave it to flow by gravity into your stomach. It should take about 15 minutes to deliver 8 ounces of formula.
• You can make the formula flow quicker by raising the syringe to your stomach.
• You can gradually make the formula flow by lowering the syringe to your stomach.
• Wash your feeding tube with the amount of water suggested.
• Close the feeding port and disconnect the extension tubing (if applicable). Clean your hands. Wash and air-dry all accessories and supplies.
• Refrigerate any remaining formula and use it within 24 hours.

Cleaning Instructions

• Wash the tubing with warm water and mild soap, and rinse well.
• Let it air dry and then store it in a clean place until the next use.
