While bolus feeding offers many benefits, it also carries potential risks and complications. These include:
Gastrointestinal issues: Such as bloating, nausea, or diarrhea, which can occur if the feeding is too rapid or the formula is not well-tolerated. Tube displacement: The feeding tube may become dislodged, requiring medical intervention to reposition it. Infection: At the site where the tube enters the body, particularly if proper hygiene is not maintained.
