To fill a feeding syringe, attach it directly to the feeding tube and pour the desired amount of formula into the open end of the syringe, allowing it to flow freely until the feeding is complete.
Here's a breakdown:
- Connect the Syringe: Attach the syringe directly to the feeding tube.
- Pour the Formula: Carefully pour the prescribed amount of formula into the open end of the syringe barrel.
- Allow Gravity to Work: Let the formula flow naturally through the syringe and into the feeding tube. Do not force the formula in, as this could cause discomfort or injury. Continue adding formula to the syringe until the entire prescribed amount has been administered.
