Contact the doctor who initially inserted the tube, they can make arrangements to have it reinserted and provide you with instructions on reinsertion, it is not safe for a layperson to perform medical procedures following youtube instructions.

You need to contact the physician that performed the procedure. The provider can initiate a home health referral to send a licensed nurse to show you how to reinsert the tube. Your child should never have been discharged until you demonstrated competency to replace the "milk pipe in his nose".

I will not tell you the proper name as you need to discuss this with a healthcare provider not Google you tube videos.

You can accidentally place tube in his lungs with potential risk for aspiration and death. If an infant and you insert incorrectly and too forcefully you can push the tube through the fragile skull.

If you cannot reach the child's physician then report to the local ER or urgent care for assistance!!
