Child with a G-Tube

In my private practice I work with a 17 month old girl on a G-Tube for all feeding since birth. Can I still massage or teach mom how to massage the stomach for colic relief?

I have a litlle one who has a g-tube. I still taught the tummy strokes. We did not use the oil to ensure no opportunity for infection around the site.I advised the family to avoid the specific "spot" the tube is located in. Otherwise, we completed the entire routine. Hope this helps!
