GOOD VIDEO! Appreciated the live demo as babies can be challenging and refuse with their whole bodies. It was good to see the baby settle into the mom's arms.

People whining over this: tube insertion is no or minimal pain and its uncomfortable, that's it. Feeding tubes can save the baby life and prevent malnutrition and have great results (if done correctly). Baby's cry over anything and everything, they also cry during diaper changes, car rides, outfit changes or when they are held still or when you take away their toy, does this mean these things hurt? Nope. It simply means they don't like it and they are uncomfortable, they will live! Also, to people saying this baby should be sedated, sedation comes with risks and side effects, especially for younger patients and they usually need to fast, sedation and making baby fast for 6 hours is NOT worth a procedure that causes 2 minutes of discomfort.
15:35 Notice how baby started to get fussy and cry BEFORE they placed the tube? He did because they were touching him and not letting him stick his foot up and they swaddled him, he turned into a beetroot and started cackling like he was being skinned alive, was he is pain? Nope. He also calmed down as soon as he was picked up. He is fine! 🙄

Thank you for making this. 3 years ago when our son was born, there wasn't a video that involved an actual infant that was awake and protesting. They taught us on a doll and then we dropped it in our paralyzed and sedated 3 month old. None of that compared to being alone in the middle of the day with a starving child, screaming and kicking and then I was forced to make it all so much worse before it could get better.

So many people commenting who obviously have no medical knowledge. This is not a painful procedure. Uncomfortable? yes, but not painful. Many babies cry just because they are being held still, not because of the procedure. These tubes are not placed for the fun of it, they are placed because it is a medical necessity. Babies need to be fed, and if they cannot take feedings by mouth, it has to be done in a different way.

What type of band aid that best for 1 year baby?

[deziraeskye]

My baby cry’s so loud opening the air way I have a terribly hard time placing NG, it’s came through her throat and coughs and threw up and even coughed small blood, we will wait till tomorrow for a professional! I feel so terrible the blowing used to work for us but not anymore :(

how bout auscultating to check if tube is in place

[MommiDonni]

Oof that poor baby. He knew what was about to happen. I dont know anyone who would be comfortable with a water hose being jammed down their nose. 🥺😩

[TheGamingSnaker]

sorry to say, but it shows restraining a child focusing only on the technical issue

[dianewalden]

you repositioned the baby on his right side, not left.

[jessicawalbroehl]

Poor thing sounded like he was choking I feel so bad they should’ve given him a sedative and isn’t it said that if the patient starts coughing to take the tube out and comfort the child and restart and maybe GIVE THE POOR THING A SEDATIVE!

[leoniehewitt]

That poor baby. And why on earth could you not give him a sedative before doing this? Awful. This is wrong.
