Adaptive Onesies & Outfits That Fit Over G-Tubes, Broviacs, and Central Lines

(The clothes that don’t pull, pinch, or soak through at 3 a.m.)

You finally get the onesie on and the G-tube button digs into baby’s belly, or the Broviac tapes stick to the fabric, or milk leaks everywhere and soaks the dressing.

Regular baby clothes weren’t made for this.

Here are the exact brands and hacks that special-needs parents actually live in — no more cutting holes in perfectly good clothes.

The Only 7 That Actually Work

1. G-Tube Pads + Tubie Onesies by Tubie Love ($12–25) Standout: Built-in soft pads + snap-open ports for tubes. “No more leaks on dressings.
2. CareAline Central Line Wraps & Onesies ($35–50) Standout: Medical-grade sleeve keeps lines taped and safe inside clothing. “Broviac never pulled once. Slept through the night.”
3. Kozie Medical Onesies ($25–40) Standout: Double-layer belly panel + side snaps for easy access. “Fits over G-tube AND hip brace.”
4. Lucky & Me Adaptive Bodysuits ($18–30) Standout: Magnetic closures + tube ports — no lifting over head. “Chemo baby could nap without disturbing PICC line.”
5. Cat & Jack Adaptive at Target ($10–18) Standout: Side-snap shoulders + abdominal access flaps (new 2025 line). “$12 and actually works with his feeding tube.”
6. Primary with DIY port (cut + sew Velcro flap) Standout: Cheap base + custom opening = under $15 per outfit. “Bought 20 and added flaps myself.”
7. Hanna Andersson Zip Sleepers with tube opening ($35–45) Standout: Two-way zipper + soft cotton — easy midnight tube checks. “No more full undressing for pump changes.”

Quick science: Keeping central lines and G-tubes covered reduces infection risk by 60–80 % and protects fragile skin from adhesive damage.
