Do not tube starter TPNs?

Hi - my institution has been tubing baby starter TPNs, but I am not able to find any data supporting this practice. We do not tube adult TPNs. Our starter TPNs have dextrose, amino acids, calcium (or heparin). Wondering if other institutions tube or hand deliver baby starter TPNs?
