Once you get used to the process you can do a feeding anywhere. You will need to be able to clean your hands and hang the bottle/bag which can be done with hand sanitizer and hang on stroller above baby. Things to avoid after a feed are sudden changes from sitting to lying on belly mostly. The scariest thing is if/when tube or button pops out or gets cruddy. Looks far worse than it is. I would ask home health to give you a backup training session after the first day. If you get early intervention involved-ask if an OT could be a part of her team. They can usually give good training on feeding issues and help problem solve thru issues too!
Overall, Id take a baby with a button in a heartbeat! The ones that make me nervous are immunocompromised and heart issues.
Good luck!
