[Dysphagia] lactation and infant reflux
hello all -
i have a friend who gave birth to a full term infant via c-section two weeks
ago. baby presented with projectile vomitting and reflux on mother's milk
through both the oral and nasal cavities in the days after birth, even
though baby is feeding well at the breast. baby has suffered 2 instances of
breathing cessation (1 in the hospital and 1 at home) during which the child
turned blue. my friend was in the hospital for almost a week after the
birth and was never seen by an SLP or a lactaction consultant. i just read
the ASHA leader article on lactaction consultants and SLPs teaming up for
infant feeding tx, hence the post. the baby has to wear a heart monitor
while sleeping on a wedge cushion to sustain upright posture during
sleeping. other than this, mom has not been educated about other
compensatory startegies/techniques that she can utilize to minimize the
effects of the reflux and maximize nutrition in her baby. i would be so
grateful if anyone who has expertise in neonatal feeding/reflux could offer
their recommendations on techniques or helpful resources that i can pass
along to mom. thank you all in advance!
Laura
