Feeding Booklet
Feeding
Feeding a baby or child with a single ventricle heart condition is often a challenge. They need high levels of calories to run their heart and to grow but they rarely have the energy to take more milk or food. The booklet highlighted below is a step-by-step guide to help parents and carers to understand the challenges feeding might create and the many ways that feeding can be supported to help children with half a working heart to thrive.
