[0002] With the continuous advancement of medical technology, the survival rate of premature babies has been improved, so the quality of life of premature babies has become the focus of people's attention. Premature babies need special attention during feeding because their body systems are not fully developed and their swallowing and digestion functions are not sound. Premature babies have weak sucking and swallowing abilities, which affects their nutritional supply. In order to solve this problem, gravity feeding devices use the principle of gravity to promote the natural flow of nutrients into the stomach through a gastric tube.

[0003] Existing gravity feeders for premature infants use sampling devices such as syringes for gravity drip feeding. However, since syringes are inconvenient to hang, a hanging line needs to be wrapped around the surface of the syringe for hanging. This is inconvenient and unsafe.
