@this_dot Hey, adult with a g-tube here! I'm also a nurse (that's why I am here in this subreddit). I live a full and active life with my g-tube and work full time as a nurse. Please don't think it's the end of the world. It's a wonderful tool to ensure that kiddo gets proper nutrition. It also makes it super easy to give meds and kiddo won't ever have to taste any nasty medicine. I also eat regular food by mouth too. You can feed as much as you can by bottle/breast and then put the remainder of the feed through the g-tube. Please don't stress too much about this. It can also be removed in the future when kiddo doesn't need it anymore. You've got this!
