Pregnancy Info HOME

I'm so glad that you found something that works for your daughter, at least for the next 2 weeks until you have more answers. (The thicker liquids don't move as quickly through the mouth, and the upright positioning prevents gravity from moving milk too quickly to the throat, so it must give your daughter that extra split-second to close her airway before the milk gets to her throat. Glad it's working!) My sister had similar feeding problems as an infant, and she did need formula thickened for quite some time, but didn't end up with any long-term eating difficulties. I hope that will be the same for your daughter. Please let me know how it goes.
