We do the gravity feeding method using the barrel of a 60 cc syringe as a funnel. We found that reusing these syringes, they would get gunky after about a week.
We looked online on a G- tube feeding supply site and found Basik Silicon O-ring 60 cc syringes. They are reusable, BPA free, dishwasher safe. Can be reused many times and should last longer than standard syringes, meaning less plastic waste . If you have to use the plunger, the action is much easier. We use a silicone baby bottle brush for cleaning the syringe barrel.
