Bottle feeding

[usedtobeinca]

We also went through a similar experience with our little guy. Our CF team had a swallow study performed by a (I think it was a speech therapist - same therapist Buckeye is thinking of) to dissect why he wasn't taking to the bottle. We ended up using Dr. Brown's bottles and having a prescript for omeprazole (prilosec) to deal with reflux.

Good luck.

Since she will suck on a pacifier, but gags on a nipple, I'd say maybe the flow is a little too fast? I agree with Jazzysmom, the NICU has these really slow nipples for preemies, those could help. Or maybe thickening up the formula somehow so it comes out slower?

I forgot all about the Dr. Brown's bottles - I loved, loved, loved those things. They have some sort of venting system so they don't get too much air in their stomach and it reduces spitting up and gas.I do think it is a Speech Therapist that might be able to give you some therapy ideas to get her used to oral feeding though. One of the adult cfers is a Speech Therapist so maybe she'll see this and respond.

I am a RN and when I worked in the NICU we would let them suck their paccy and take a tb syringe ( without the needle of course) and fill it with formula and slide it in their mouth at the corner while they are sucking, Then slowly push formula in alittle at a time. This teaches them that the sucking brings milk, she is used to getting nothing from sucking, slowly introducing formula this way will let her suck something fimiliar and get formula alittle at a time. She will catch on quick, I promise!!
