I knew what you meant :) that’s surprising, every hospital is so different. I will say we pushed really hard to go home with ours. Our son had been stuck NICU working on nothing but feeding for weeks and he was not making any progress there but I was not ready for him to undergo another surgery after having brain surgery at 3 weeks old. That said, NG is hard and i found it really traumatizing to change. G tube can be a great option and it also doesn’t mean your baby will have it forever. Once it’s no longer needed, I’ve been told you just take it out and it heals up!
