How to Bolus Feed?
- Clean your hands.
- If you own a low-profile feeding tube, prime the extension tubing to eliminate any air before connecting it to the feeding tube. Priming the tubing helps block air from entering your stomach and creating distress.

- Fill the syringe with about 15 mL of the formula.
- Unclamp the extension set and let the formula flow just to the end of the tubing before clamping it.

- Rinse the outside of your formula vessel with a neat towel and open it.
