A young women whose baby underwent heart surgery first developed this simple, but effective, feeding tube pocket pouch.   The newborn infant had to be fed every three hours through a nasogastric (NG) tube.   This feeding tube was inserted into his nose and left in place securely taped to his face.   

What a shock to find that almost everybody was too intimidated to hold the baby because they were afraid of messing up the feeding tube--even though it was gathered by a rubber band.  The feeding tube not only interfered with people trying to hold the baby but also could swing around and irritate the baby's face.

And so was the genesis of the feeding-tube pocket pouch.  This small feeding-tube pocket pouch is made of soft flannel and holds the NG feeding tube in place.  This feeding-tube pocket pouch minimizes the fear of accidentally pulling out the tube, eliminates the tube from swinging, and keeps the tube away from baby's grasping hands.  The pocket pouch can be taped or pinned securely to the infants clothes, the tube gathered with the enclosed elastic, and inserted into the pocket until needed again.

For those who prefer the NG tube for each feeding, the feeding tube can be stored in the feeding-tube pocket pouch and kept close by.

Each feeding-tube pocket pouch measures 3-1/4 by 4-1/4 inches.  It comes with a convenient elastic band and has a secure closure.  Each is made of washable flannel in solid pastels or nursery prints and is priced $6.00 plus $2.00 shipping handling.  Note: Feeding tube not included with pouch.
