Most infants start with a nasogastric tube. A gastrostomy is considered later if oral feeding stays unsafe, if there is documented aspiration, or if the NG will not stay in. Write the plan down. A verbal discussion in the hallway is easy to lose.
It can be placed the same day and removed when sucking is safe. Common problems are tape, clogging, and the tube being pulled out. For many infants in phase 1a this is all they need.

{comic_thumb("en", "tubes", "Comic: NG tube and gastrostomy button on a tray")}A French-led group gave infants a short course of intranasal oxytocin. At age 3 to 4, social, endocrine, and metabolic measures looked better than in children who never received it. Swallowing results are still being studied. This is not US or Chinese standard care, and it is not something to buy online.
If your hospital has a trial, you can ask. If not, keep the focus on volumes and tone.
