Questions & Answers - Food Concerns
My baby was born four weeks early and lately we have been having
problems with her feeding to where she either falls asleep during her
feeding, she forgets how to suck and starts to gag and choke and she
also has been spitting up the very little she eats. What can I do to
help my baby?
I would first seek the advice of your doctor/pediatrician or any
specialist that your baby may see. Many preemies have difficulty
with feeding and/or reflux (spitting up). I would also suggest
contacting your local early intervention provider and asking for an
evaluation for your baby. An occupational therapist and/or speech
therapist should be able to address any feeding concerns that you
may have. Your doctor will be able to address if she needs to switch
formulas or perhaps be prescribed medication for reflux due to her
spitting up. These are some
resource numbers for your area.
