Pumps are usually used to give fluid and or drugs to a baby.

The pump may be called a syringe driver or an intravascular (IV) infusion device. The syringe driver pushes fluids or drugs from a syringe into the IV line; with the IV infusion device, an intravenous line is threaded through the pump and the pump allows a measured amount of fluid to infuse into baby each hour. Sometimes pumps are used to give milk continuously to a baby.
