Syringe Feeding

Syringe feeding is a method of providing nutrition to a person who can't eat on their own. Using a syringe, a caregiver gently administers liquid food or supplements directly into the mouth or stomach, often through the nose or a feeding tube. This technique ensures that the person receives necessary nutrients when they are unable to swallow or consume enough food voluntarily. It requires careful attention to the person's comfort and safety, proper hygiene, and appropriate feeding techniques to prevent choking or aspiration.
