Growing Tots

27/04/2026

Motherhood doesn't always look like bottles and bibs.

Sometimes it looks like syringes, measuring lines, and feeds pushed through a tube.

Being a PEG-fed mum means living in a world where milliliters replace spoonfuls, where nutrition passes through syringes instead of tiny mouths, and where love is measured not just in cuddles, but in every careful flush and every planned feed.

It's a different kind of normal, one that doesn't often get seen, but one that is built on strength, patience, and a love deeper than words. This journey is raw, real, and relentless... but it's also full of resilience, hope, and the kind of courage only a medical mum knows.

Our NG bunny 🐰

Before Growing Tots, before the Gastrostomy, I was an NG mumma and it was a very different Easter. (A period of time I’ve mostly blocked out 😅)

I hated this tube, but I’m so glad I took these photos. Tubes save lives, it can take time to truly understand and appreciate that, but once I did, I change my entire mind set.

I love her peg and I love the opportunities it’s given her, and to our entire family. And I’m grateful to have met all of you along this journey.

Happy Easter 🐣 for whatever stage you may be in x

After becoming a medical mum, my circle changed. Some friends really showed up, others took a step back. It’s tricky to know how to navigate these situations, from both perspectives. But then something happened, my circle grew and filled with other medical mums who just got it. Who helped me better understand it. Who face the same challenges, same triggers, same exhaustion I had felt for years.

Growing Tots isn’t just a brand of adaptive clothing, it’s a community for medical parents/carers, who live the same challenges day-to-day. It’s a growing community I’m so proud to be part of.

And with that life experience, it’s a small, simple solution, designed by one medical mum for her new circle of friends, navigating through their children’s tube feeding journey 🧡
