My point was more that's its super traumatic for babies to have a feeding tube put in. So seems strange they would suggest so quickly & when she didn't 100% say she's not eating at all. Yes of course, it must be a very troubling time.It's probably not necessarily the size of her daughter over all, it's probably to ensure she doesn't lose too much weight, and to ensure her body has enough energy and nutrients to fight the infection. A person will feel weak with no food intake regardless of their size. Must be such a worrying time.
