I noted in the story about the baby with jaw anomalies that a 5 Fr
feeding tube was used.  In my experience I have found the 3.5 Fr
works in most cases (except when the colostrum is quite "thick") and
is less intrusive to the baby.  The feeding tubes are rather stiff
compared to the tubes in the SNS's and FingerFeeders which are nice
and soft.  That's why I like to use the smallest possible one.
Just a thought, not meant as a criticism.
