we having problems with our sons feeding pumps the poblems are there giving the full feed and sometimes cut out we have asked for a different one and to our belave we carnt as we dont live in right area so we have to buy our own pump and supplys this is so shocking the flow rate only goes up 300 when my son grows hes going to need a higher flow rate then what ? i dont really think the nurses know what to do niether so do anyone got any advice im willing to buy the pumps for my boys but this shouldnt have to happen im livid

You will find that as you boy grows up they will change the feed. My daughter is 12 and has an infinuty pump from nutricia. She has a litre of milk in 24 hrs giving her 1500 cals. She has recently changed from paediasure plus to nutrini energy multi fibre as she is over 30 kgs. I totally agree you should not have to but supplies; have you talked to your dietician too?

whos your nurse? and are you on same pump as us clear star? if so ours is great and we get through abbott

Euan is also on the Infintity pump which is much quieter than the previous pump and slightly more insentitive
Still beeps like mad though when he lies on it.
If you get desperate for the pump and feel the only option is to buy although your really shouldnt have to if your pump is faulty there are a few options on ebay

The kangaroo pump above is the old style one Euan used to use and was sturdy but did beep but i think that was more Euan lying on it alot.

The general list is also very detailed with some going upto 1200ml an hour
