I used a syringe to do my tube feedings, not a bag. My five year old grandaughter, Shelby, became quite proficient at handling it for me. Many times when I would be on this very board, typing away or reading words of comfort, she would be standing beside me, doing my tube feeding. She found it fascinating. The fact that she loved to tell anyone that would listen,even strangers, about the tube in my stomach was a little unnerving at times but I just let her ramble on!
