Hi, All:  I would like to caution against the use of the clear sticky 
plastic films used in the hospital to hold IVs, NG tubes, etc. in place.  
This stuff is very sticky and meant to stay in place for a day or two.  It 
is not used, taken off after an hour or so and repeatedly reapplied thruout 
the day as it would be used for breastfeedings.  We see nice reddened skin 
(especially on babies' faces) from this film use.  Some moms also have 
allergic skin reactions, so if she has a tape sensitivity, this film can 
also cause a skin reaction.  Also, this product is much more expensive than 
the regular tapes.
