Nocturnal nasogastric feeding (NGF) supplementation is an effective means of supplying calories to children with chronic diseases which may impair caloric and nutritional intake. Herein, we describe our experience with 18 patients who were taught NGF. They were divided into two groups: one group was instructed in the hospital which is the typical situation, whereas the second group was instructed at home. No complications were associated with NGF taught either at home or in the hospital. Our experience, therefore, indicates that nocturnal NGF can be successfully taught at home.
