Please type your query here...My grandson was born with tracheomalacia, he is 3 weeks old, he is being breast fed, he has gained weight from birth weight of 9 lbs to 10 lbs.

H eis also having wet watery bowel movements not typical mustard like breast stool. Has been seen by GP and a Paeds Resident ..not concerned because he is gaining weight.Are there special methods of breast feeding babies with tracheomalacia.
Feeding baby who has tracheoesophageal malaria, you can feed by keeping a nasogastric tube or or gastric tube of size 6, and you can give feeds with syringe.
