Dd is nearly 8 weeks old but was 6 weeks prem. she is fed expressed breast milk with a Dr Browns preemie bottle so the teat is incredibly slow flowing.
She will usually cough and choke 7 or 8 times during a 100ml feed. It makes me very anxious. I've mentioned it to the hv who said she won't actually choke but dd seems to be getting worse not better. I dread feeding her. Also sometimes she will choke and I think it scares her and then she won't take anymore. I am getting to the point where I'd rather let her be hungry than risk her choking.
I've tried sitting her up more / less / at different angles/ taking the bottle out her mouth every few sucks but it makes no difference.
I know preemies struggle with suck swallow breathe but surely by now she should have got it? It's making my pnd worse as I spend my life worrying about feeding her.
Should I take her to my GP?
