About this Service

Rapid Tube Weaning Program I provide an online service to families who have a child under 12 months old with a tube feeding dependency. To be eligible, your baby must be fit and well, cleared medically / the medical need for the tube has passed, cleared by a SLT as having a safe swallow and be able demonstrate they can currently or have recently accepted oral liquids or puree’s / solids (even small amounts). How it works: 1.You fill out an online feeding questionnaire - this will take you approximately 30 minutes to complete. 2. Email Deb your most recent letter / correspondence from your child's healthcare team. Deb will assess the information provided and decide if your child is suitable for the home based tube weaning program. This is an intensive 2 week program where we work very closely together. Parents are required to keep an online record of fluid intake / output. The best part is, within as little as 2 weeks, your baby will happily be tube free, and get excited at the sight of a bottle / solids (if age appropriate). This can seem like an impossible feat - but I promise with my guidance it can be your reality. Parent - Lem "My LO had the feeding tube for 8 weeks due to aversion. It was a very difficult stage for us. My daughter was seen by different specialists and all they could think of was reflux as the main cause of her aversion. She was getting worse. My LO was always upset, vomiting, not sleeping well. My anxiety level was high.I wanted the tube out! I was desperate to find answers. Then I found Deb. In less than two weeks the feeding tube was removed. My daughter is now feeding a lot better, sleeping better. We got our lives back. Deb is amazing. She is professional, thorough and well organized. She went through every single step safely. I am so glad we reached this stage. We are now enjoying our precious one and that is how it should be. To all the parents out there who are going through the same stage, you don't have to suffer in silence. Have faith and contact Deb ;)"
