\"\"<\/a>The action of giving someone something to eat..<\/p>\n

\n

The supplying of nutrients to someone who is unable to eat independently or in the normal way. The term often applies to infants, who receive their nutrition either through breastfeeding or bottle-feeding using formula. But in a hospital setting, the term feeding generally refers to the provision of nutrients other than by eating, as by a tube inserted into the stomach or intestines (often through the mouth or nose) or by nutritional fluids fed directly into the bloodstream intravenously (called parenteral nutrition or intravenous feeding). Such artificial feeding is often used for premature babies, whose sucking or rooting reflex is insufficiently developed for normal feeding, as well as for children (and adults) who have various digestive disorders, malabsorption, kidney and urological disorders, brain disorders (see brain and brain disorders), high fever, or severe burns.<\/p>\n
