hey all,

i was wondering how your lil ones who are tube fed get on at school and if they go to mainstream or a special school??

i'm worried for when charlie starts school next year, because he has to have all his fluids through his tube and his meds throughout the day how they would deal with this?? and if other children would notice he was 'different'?

charlies at a special nursery at the min but he only does 2 mornings and i give him his fluids when he gets up before he goes at 9 and hes back for 12 so i give him more when he is back so no body sees him bein fed there but i just worry about when they do

i know im over reacting but i hate the not knowing

bec n charlie <3

my 2 boys so much

hi, my son is tube fed at school he has all the feeds and medication that is needed during the day, he is at special school and there are nursing staff there to deal with this. he has been to mainstream nursery and he had 1-1 and all his feeding needs were met, it is difficult to attend any nursery/school setting without it involving a feed. the children at alexs mainstream nursery were very accepting of his feeding tube and once a few questions were answered they lost interest. alex was fed whilst the other children ate lunch at the same table as his peers so he wasnt excluded from this social time.

Heya. Euans in mainstream with full time 1:1. He has all his meds at school etc they've been fab. There are currently 3 staff trained to use his button and 2 at a time do his meds and sign them off. He loves it his friends have been great about his button they dont see him as any different xxx
