Out in public, any crowded restaurant or mall, and then there is a little kiddo who has a long white/tan tube coming from under their shirt and to a backpack slung over their mother's arm. You look. You stare. You might even dare make a comment. But do you know what that is under there? Do you know why that child has that tube attached to them?
It's their food. What they need to live. And admittedly, it sounds off-putting. At first. A feeding tube is only another way to gain calories. Another way to eat. So lets learn a little bit about them and help dispel some of the discomfort surrounding the idea.

It's another review from On Both Fronts: special needs mommy and product guru! I was sent these funky looking utensils for Seamus to try. The Grabease is said to help babies with self feeding with short, chubby handles. OT approved. We just had to try it out!
Maybe you've heard about them online, in a book or a therapist has recommended it for your child, but what about these blankets is a big deal?
