What if your baby was silently aspirating on milk? Wouldn’t take a bottle…squired and refused milk at every feed. This was Brooke Tibbett’s experience with her second baby who eventually ended up requiring a tube feeding for nutrition at 6 months of age. In this interview Brooke shares her family’s experience transitioning their tube fed child to solid foods and how they helped wean her off of the tube and into independent eating using baby-led weaning.
