You should make sure your infant remains upright or inclined to prevent the feeding from being regurgitated. After the feeding is complete, your doctor will either cap off the tube or remove it. You can hold your baby while the liquid moves slowly through the feeding tube. After the tube is firmly in place, the infant is given formula, breast milk, or medicine by injection with a syringe or through an infusion pump. To confirm proper placement, your doctor may order an X-ray of your child’s abdomen to ensure that the tube is in the stomach. There are also devices that secure the tube internally by using cloth tape that passes behind the nasal bone. If your infant has sensitive skin or a skin condition, your doctor may use a pectin barrier, or paste, to make sure the skin doesn’t tear when the tape is removed.
When the tube is inserted, it is taped to the nose or mouth so it stays in place. This will ensure that the tube passed into the stomach and not the lungs. The most accurate way to test that the tube is in the correct place, without getting an X-ray, is to withdraw some of the liquid from your baby’s stomach and test the pH with a simple testing strip. This indicates the tube has been placed correctly. After it is placed, your nurse will check the tube for correct placement by inserting a small amount of air into the tube and listening for the contents to enter the stomach. Occasionally doctors will insert the tube, but it is generally a procedure done by the bedside nurse. Next, they will insert the tube very carefully into your infant’s mouth or nose.
Then, they will lubricate the tip with sterile water or water based lubricating gel. Your nurse will then mark the tube so it is just the right length for your infant. During the procedure, your nurse will measure the length from your baby’s nose or mouth to their stomach.
