A lot of people, who find out that my son is 100% tube-fed, usually ask me to describe how we feed James. So as not to stretch your imagination too much, here's the step-by-step procedure told in photos :)
1. Prep the G-tube button
2. Insert one end of the extension tube to the button
3. Make sure the button and extension tube are attached properly to each other
4. Insert the 60cc syringe to the other end of the extension tube
5. Ensure that the syringe and extension tube are connected properly
6. Prepare the crushed Phenobarbital tablet (this is James' anti-seizure medication taken once a day)
7. Pour a little water in the syringe
8. Add the Phenobarb to the water
9. Prep the formula/blenderized food in the feeding bag
10. Join the feeding bag's spout to the end of the feeding tube extension
11. Regulate the milk flow (if using gravity feeding without a pump)
12. Take photo of happy kid being tube-fed :p
