My daughter at 4 1/2 months old. We kept mittens taped on her while she had the NG-tube--it helped decrease the number of times she would pull it out.To this day she carries a little mitten with her and needs one to sleep! It actually became her "lovey"!

Visit my favorite products store! Looking for great books and products? Here are the items I've found to help with tube feeding, tube weaned picky eaters, GERD, and more.
DISCLAIMER: I have used every product that is listed, from the AR Wedge Pillow, to the vomit remover. The majority of the books I have listed, are those that I have as part of my reflux and tube feeding library. There are a few new books that have come out since my daughter began eating, but I only listed those books that I thought looked truly helpful and legitimate.
Please contact me if you think I've missed a helpful resource that could help other tube feeding families!
