During our inpatient stay, the dietician recommended adding 60 cc prune juice to feeds daily and a multivitamin.
The multivitamin is in the pill case with the other daily meds. This should be crushed and diluted with her feeds and put into the bag to run over the course of her feeding. Vitamins vary from meds in that we aren't so much concerned with peaks and troughs as we are with getting it, and that if we get 85% instead of 95%, we aren't as worried about the loss.
Currently, the prune juice is running overnight. We may start bolusing it after CPT to help increase effectiveness, so be sure to ask Mom if that change has been made.
