Feeding Tube & G-Tube Care
For children who cannot safely eat by mouth, a feeding tube is a lifeline — and managing it well takes skill, consistency, and attention to detail. BrightStars nurses provide expert in-home feeding tube care so your child gets the nutrition they need, safely and comfortably.
We support every common tube type — G-tube, NG-tube, GJ-tube, and J-tube — and we treat parents as partners, teaching you what you want to learn while handling what you would rather leave to a professional.

Safe feedings, healthy skin, fewer complications
Good feeding-tube care is about far more than delivering formula. Our nurses monitor tolerance, manage pump rates, watch for reflux and aspiration risk, and keep the tube site clean and healthy to prevent granulation tissue, leakage, and infection.
When something looks off — redness, a loose balloon, poor tolerance — a trained nurse catches it early and coordinates with your child's physician before it becomes an emergency.
Training that builds your confidence
Many parents feel overwhelmed when a feeding tube first comes home. Our nurses walk you through each step at your pace — priming a pump, giving medications, handling a clog, or troubleshooting an alarm — until it feels manageable.
You decide how much you want to do yourself and how much you want us to handle. Either way, you are never left to figure it out alone.
