It can be hard to get in tummy time with g-tubes, ostomies, surgeries, etc. Here are some tips from the yahoo short bowel syndrome group:

  • put baby across the lap w/g-tube hanging in the gap between legs, then have baby reach for things
  • put rolled up towels/boppy under baby's arms to take the pressure off the tummy
  • wrap the abdomen in Fabrifoam, a soft, breathable athletic wrap that cushions the button and keeps it from pulling
