Choking with a vari-flow teat :(

[tessie31082]

Heart in mouth moment and blind panic and then lots of tears as my LO (9 1/2 weeks) just had a 'proper' choking fit- blue tint, floppy etc after choking on his bottle. He is a real guzzler and easily finishes his bottle in 5-10 mins. I have always used a vari-flow teat (from 2 weeks old) and he has had the odd small choking fit. However, the older he gets the worse it seems to be getting :( Should I change to no.1 teats or get new vari-flow teats- can the teats I have have be no good?
Thanks for any advice.

You need to get this checked out really. It's probably nothing...it happened to my DD1 when she was very small...abot 4 days old and I know how scary it is. I actually called an ambulance though she stopped the blue thing and was breathing.

She was fine.

here is a link to another Mumsnet thread about a similar thing and the advice seems to be to get them checked over incase of tongue tie or other issues. Sorry you've had an awful scare.

Thank you for your experience and the link and the advice :)
