There are hundreds of different types available thru prescription and others over the counter like ensure, boost etc. Homemade foods can clog the tube. Plus with homemade foods, its hard to know exactly how many calories and nutrients are being taken in. Im certain homemade formula has to be healthier than the processed, canned formula.
