G-tube questions for Autumn...sleeping, costs....

[Guest guest]

Hi. I am wondering a couple things about the g-tube. Does the pump

make a lot of noise? How big is it and how expensive is all that it

needs...(is pump purchase or rented?) I get free formula from WIC so

that is not a problem. Also, is the tube dangerous at nighttime and

can it get tangled up or pulled out and how do you make sure they are

ok at night? Can she sleep on her stomach because that is the only way

she sleeps. Also, can she still swim, play in the sandbox, go to the

lake and ocean? I know it's alot of questions but any answers are

appreciated. Her pump would only be for nightime feeds and sick times.

Thanks.
