About us
The Home Enteral Feeding Transitions (HEFT) team supports former NICU babies who go home with a feeding tube (NG or GT), for supplemental nutrition or thickened feeds.
Our goal is to help your baby transition from the NICU to home, and eventually to full oral feeds. Because each baby’s feeding and tube weaning needs are unique, we use an evaluation process to continually support your baby's progress and success. Our team will provide a thorough review of your child’s feeding issues. Then coordinate care plans with your pediatrician and home care teams for prescriptions, referrals, and home health needs.
Our data shows that over 50% of infants are free from tube feeds within 90 days of discharge. You and your baby are not alone, and we are here to help!
