It is interesting to note that research uses such value-heavy, subjective
words as 'difficult' in research results.  It would be too easy to see
'difficult' as a negative outcome when it may not be.  Another example of
this is the assumption that more weight gain or a bigger baby = a
healthier baby.  Many parents of gifted children find them 'demanding',
'difficult' and a real challenge.  Also, some of the 'best'-behaved
babies, or babies who are 'content' or 'never cry', turn out to have
health and/or developmental problems.  So maybe these toddlers are more
demanding because they have more intelligence and/or vitality.
Since I'm posting, I'm going to excerpt from a private email - I hope
this doesn't count as advertising, I just want to share what took me a
few hours to gather, about  sources for #5 french feeding tubes:

Marcia McCoy
Volunteeer lactation advocate (the order taker on the phone said 'You're
a Location advocate?  What's that?)

>>The manufacturers that I found online were:
Mallinckrodt  1-800-635-5267  item# 85772
                I also saw ones made by Bard at
Allegiance    1-800-964-5227  item # DC3643
I called Starkman's in Toronto (1-314-863-2984) but I didn't have an item
number and she couldn't find the right item.<<
I've been told that Bell & Ingram and Seamless also manufacture these - I
couldn't find them online, but your supplier could check.
