Hi
My son has had his for 5 years now and I have had no problems with the actual tube itself. In fact it is the best thing we ever did for him and has made all of our lives so much easier. Before it feeding was a constant battle and would leave me heartbroken. He never really had an NGT for too long as his consultant prefers the peg when he knows it is going to be long term so we pretty much went straight to it. It is far easier than my experience of the NGT and is hidden so you can see all of that gorgeous face you want to If you have any questions at all please just ask I am happy to help x |
