Plugged Button

Satisfactory Essays

To prevent a plugged button, always remember to flush after each use of the feeding tube. In the event that the button is plugged, flush with 5cc of warm water or a carbonated drink, such as cola, if your child diet allows for it. If the button is still clogged, attach an empty syringe with a plunger to the feeding port. Pull back lightly on the plunger as this will create a suction that may loosen the plug. Do not pull hard on the plunger as this may damage the stomach lining.
