It's pretty easy after you learn how, and if your tube is marked and you insert it to the line you will not be in the wrong place. I hope you are not having the little ones tail done this early , you need to wait till she is about 5 or 6 oz. Just the fact that she is still alive is a good thing , I think she may make it with a lot of help. What are you feeding her. I saved my preemie with a mixture of Goats milk, Yogurt, Karo and egg yolk. Best of luck to you , it is a very hard road but when they live it is all worth it.
