Baby nursing tube?

A nursing tube is usually a pump device used instead of direct nursing, or it might be referring to a "latch booster" or similar product. If you mean a thin tube placed at the breast and used to regulate milk flow while your baby nurses, it's called a "supplemental nursing system" (SNS).
The SNS is usually used when milk supply is low, to increase the time your baby spends at the breast and to support the sucking reflex. The tube is placed at the breast and the other end connects to a container (or expressed milk). While nursing, your baby gets milk through the tube. This method encourages direct nursing and reduces bottle use. But using it, especially in the first weeks, should be done under a nursing consultant's guidance; cleanliness and proper tube placement are important. Whether it's right depends on your baby's appetite, how they latch, and your comfort level.
If you're curious about a specific product or device name, "nursing kit" or "SNS system" is the general term; I can't recommend a specific brand, but talking with a midwife or nursing consultant will help you find what's best for your situation.
