New to tube feeding

[Anonymous]

We’ve only had our tube for 3 days. How much water do you use to flush the tube? We have been using 25 cc before and after. It seems like too much to me. We have a mickey button.

Sorry just now saw this. We flush ours with 10-15mls before and after

How old is your baby? If they are less than a year, you should only flush with enough to clear the tubing. Too much water can throw off their electrolyte balance. On an older child, you can flush with more water–it is akin to drinking water.

The inside of the tube is not that large, about as large as a pencil. It is easy for large fragments to get caught inside the tube and clog it up. It is not easy to unblock the tube.

We only use 4-5 ml. Just enough to clear the extension tubing. My boys are 9 mths.
