This was SO much fun! In honour of the recent Feeding Tube Awareness Week (FTAW 2023), we wanted to squash the myths and misconceptions of tube feeding, and who else do you turn to other than the queens in this space?! We sat down with Melanie Dimmitt, author of The Blend, and Sarah Thomas, founder of Wholesome Blends, to share some of our own personal experiences and stories as mama's of children with a feeding tube, and let us just say it’s so freaking refreshing to be surrounded by people who can laugh at the same ‘not so average’ mama stuff that you don’t read about in the baby books!
If you don’t have or know a tubie, I highly encourage you to listen through this and learn something new – it is likely that your own child will go to school with a child with a feeding tube or a disability and we think it’s so important that us as parents teach them about and celebrate differences. And if you are the parent of a tubie yourself, grab a wine and enjoy this chat between friends – this is going to fill your cup for the week!
