Long story short,

I'm a foster mom of a baby who has some medical issues. She was just put on oxygen. We are having trouble getting the nasal cannula to stay on her. She is 8mo old and can just pull it off. She hates it. I tried putting flexible tape on it and taping it to her face, which worked, but she can still slip the prongs out of her nose, which makes her dsat at night and when I take the tape off her face it is really painful for her and she has marks from it all day. So I can't use that again. Any suggestions? I would call the Dr's office but they are closed.
