Comfort comes first: Supporting tube-fed children in feeding therapy

This video is part of the ausEE Feeding Tube Awareness Week (FTAW) 2026 Virtual Education Program, created to inform, support and empower the tube-feeding community. About this video: Feeding support for tube-fed children is about more than intake or skills – it begins with comfort. In this talk for Feeding Tube Awareness Week, Carly Veness, Principal Speech Pathologist at Babble & Munch, explores why comfort must come first for tube-fed children before curiosity (exploration) and capability (skills) can emerge. Using the Circles to Feeding™ Approach, she shares a compassionate, child-led way to understand feeding therapy that supports felt-safety, trust, and meaningful progress. This session is relevant for families and professionals supporting tube-fed children at any stage of their feeding journey.
