Answer 2

Of course! Orogastric Tube (OGT) feeding is when a small tube is gently inserted through the baby’s mouth or nose down into their stomach. This tube helps deliver special liquid food directly into the stomach when the baby can’t eat enough or at all by mouth. Here are some reasons why doctors might choose OGT feeding for a baby:

Prematurity: Babies born too early may not be strong enough to drink milk from a bottle or breast yet. OGT feeding helps give them the nutrition they need until they’re ready to feed on their own.

Low Birth Weight: Babies born very small might have trouble sucking and swallowing properly, so they need help getting enough food. OGT feeding ensures they get the right amount of nutrition.
