He rolls in bed a lot.. a fairly fidgety sleeper and I am concerned that will just be make him more uncomfortable . He has sensitive skin to bandaid/adhesives so the adhesive mediplast tape to hold the tube next to his skin will likely be irritating. I have ordered some stockinette mesh bandage so he can wear that around his torso/abdomen to keep the tube in place for night time.
Any thoughts.. suggestions re the early days with the tube, any spillage of gastric contents? and managing the pain> thank you paz y luz to all . xoxo
