[Dysphagia] thickening breast milk

Then what do you suggest for an infant/family in the situation I have described. Given that the literature is implying no benefit of thickening, given that the swallow study reveals otherwise... do you recommend no longer oral feeds? Seems a strong recommendation given the circumstances.
Again... given a family who wishes to continue to feed their baby breast milk orally and has been identified as an aspirator... WHAT can we use to thicken?

Unfortunately it is the concept of thickening ............ being used pervasively without proven benefit that concerns me the most.
