Tracheomalacia - XP

michelle_1221

Does anyone's LO have Tracheomalacia? DD began having symptoms at 17 days and was diagnosed then. They said it was unusual that she didn't have the symptoms earlier, but that her case may be mild and brought on by a cold or other irritant. I both pump and nurse, and since the symptoms began that include labored breathing, the amount I'm pumping is much less (about 60% prior volumes). I'm wondering if she is not getting as much when she nurses. I plan to also ask the pedi about this, but was curious if anyone else had experience with changes in feedings due to the tracheomalacia.

I also realize my supply may be a function of the stress, but I think I've handled this all well. She is already low in terms of weight (15%) so I want to ensure I'm proactive if she's not getting enough to eat.

Thanks!
