"Commencing continuous Gastric or Trans-pyloric feeding Continuous feeding should only be instituted once the infant has reached volumes of at least 7 ml/hr, or on discussion with Neonatologist. This restriction is to avoid the need to purge the tubing every 4 hr with the change of bottle that would be required for lower rates (due to safe hang times). Follow the steps below for commencing continuous Gastric or Jejunal feeding: 1. Draw up prescribed volume of milk. 2. Label with type of milk, date and time. 3. Ensure the correct procedure for setting up the continuous feed pump is observed. 4. Check that the tube is in the correct position and the tape is secure (observe hourly). 5. Commence continuous feed 6. Aspirate gastric tube at least once per shift to confirm placement and determine residual volume"
