Beginning of imitation and object permanence (Object permanence complete by 8 months)Infant repeats actions to achieve wanted results. Actions are purposefulInfants coordinate previously learned schemes with previously learned behaviors.Infant begins to associate symbols with events

Enteral feedings can be given continuously or intermittently, regardless of the type of tube used. Checking for tube placement is a priority before administering any intermittent tube feeding and periodically during continuous tube feedings, regardless of the type of tube being used. Assess the abdomen for distension and bowel sounds. Also, measure the gastric residual. Begin the feeding by placing the child in a supine position with the head and shoulders elevated approximately 30 degrees so that the feeding will remain in the stomach area.Flush the tube with a small amount of water to clear it and prevent occlusion
