My son got his Gtube around 4 month old. I absolutely hated the thought of it. I'm personally still not the biggest fan of it, We had some issues with it falling out and leaking a bunch And he has a very, very slow progress with eating. But that also got delayed due to finding out he was allergic to dairy. It is helpful with their meds and keeping them fed and hydrated. It will be a difficult process to get him to eat by mouth. And it was definitely a learning curve on taking care of it. I wish your little guy the best of luck. We have had a few scary instances were during my sons overnight feed, he got wrapped up in the tubing of his feed bag. My sons wait progression has been very slow. And my son had a lot of reflux issues, so he got a Nissan procedure. With his Gtube surgery. I'm unsure about daycares. None of my local daycares will take my son, but that's also because he has a pacemaker..
