Frequently Asked Questions

Products

Are your products handmade?

Yes! Every single item in the shop is sewn by April, the founder of Lil' Bayou Boutique. Each piece is made with care and attention to detail.

What is a G-Tube Tummy Time Pillow?

The G-Tube Tummy Time Pillow is an original invention by Lil' Bayou Boutique. It's a specially designed pillow that allows babies, toddlers and children with feeding tubes (g-tubes) to comfortably lie on their stomachs during tummy time, without putting pressure on or risking damage to their g-tube site.

What is a G-Tube Belt?

A G-Tube Belt is a soft, adjustable fabric belt worn around the belly to protect and cover a child's feeding tube button (such as a Mic-Key or AMT Mini One button). It helps prevent accidental pulling or snagging of the tube and keeps the site clean and covered.

Are your car seat ponchos car seat safe?

Yes! Our car seat ponchos are designed to be worn over the harness straps rather than under them, which means they do not interfere with the harness fit or safety. This is the recommended safe alternative to bulky coats in car seats.

What materials do you use?

We use soft, high-quality fleece and cotton fabrics. All materials are chosen with comfort and safety in mind, especially for babies and children with sensitive skin or medical needs.

Sizing & Fit

How do I choose the right size G-Tube Belt?

Each G-Tube Belt listing includes detailed sizing information. We recommend measuring your child's belly and comparing to the size chart provided. If you're between sizes, size up for a more comfortable fit. We add several inches of Velcro® to accommodate growth and even weight loss.

What sizes do the car seat ponchos come in?

Our car seat ponchos are designed to fit most infant and convertible car seats. Each listing includes sizing details — please refer to the individual product page for specifics.

Care Instructions

How do I wash my Lil' Bayou Boutique items?

Most items can be machine washed on a gentle cycle in cold water and tumble dried on low. Please refer to the care instructions included with your order or listed on the individual product page for specific guidance.
