Bolus Feeding

Bolus feeding is a method of delivering a specific amount of liquid nutrition directly into the stomach or small intestine over a short period, typically using a syringe or feeding container. It mimics natural eating by providing a set dose at scheduled times, often a few times daily. This approach is commonly used for people who cannot eat enough by mouth or require supplemental nutrition. It allows for precise control of intake and can be convenient, but it requires proper timing and technique to ensure safe and effective feeding.
