ABSTRACT OF INVENTION An infant tube feeding device, adapted for delivering fluid from a calibrated container to a gavage tube, comprising a flexible connector, a flow clamp positioned on the flexible connector proximate the gavage tube, and a semi-rigid fitment connecting the flexible connector to the gavage tube. The flexible connector is calibrated and the flow clamp has a longitudinal slot, where the sides forming the longitudinal slot are not parallel and the diameter of the slot varies to provide open and closed positions on the flexible connector so that fluid flow through the flexible connector may be regulated to allow a measured quantity of fluid to pass to the gavage tube. Upon sliding the longitudinal slot to the closed position on the flexible connector, fluid flow is com- pletely restricted, so that pressure applied to the walls of the flexible connector forces air in the fluid out through the calibrated container and the volume of the air-free formula is thereafter adjusted to the desired calibration level prior to attachment to the implanted gavage tube.
