desats whilst feeding??

My son had similar issues of choking and desatting while feeding, which also kept us in the hospital. He had a barium swallow study, where they take xrays while feeding to track the milk, which showed he was aspirating. We started thickening the milk with food thickener (there are different brands, but we used Thick & Easy) and the choking episodes stopped (unless the milk wasn't thick enough). We ended up thickening for a year and since then he has been fine with drinking liquids. If the other suggestions aren't helping, you may want to ask your daughter's doctor about a swallow study.

We had the same with my son....FEED HER SIDELINE! this was the only thing keeping us from going home! He was born at 32 weeks but weighed only 2 pounds 14 ounces, we took him home at 3 1/2 pounds! while taking a bottle he would choke....and have brady's too, even while sitting up, we started feeding him sideline and have had no problems since, lay your baby straight out infront of you like put her on her side on your leg so her head is on your knee and her feet are on your thigh touching your tummy, keep her on her side her whole body, the nicu cpr lady told us this was like breastfeeding this way the milk puddles up in their cheek and not down their throat causing them to choke, this way they can keep it puddled in their cheek and if they get to much they can spit it out or swallow it slowly....also the nipples in the nicu are not slow flow, so try to get a deff nipple too! or while your feeding sideline if she starts to deset or choke turn the nipple down so she isnt getting any for a little, just pace her! hope this helps!
