can you do bolus feedings at night
Bolus, Gravity, and Intermittent Feeds. A bolus is a tube feed that is given like a meal. Typically, a larger amount is given in a short period of time, usually less than 30 minutes. There is often a break of several hours between feeds. Often, a child receives bolus feeds during the day and a continuous feeding at night. Sometimes infants will receive bolus feedings around the clock since this is a normal feeding pattern for newborns.
