My 11 week old chokes on his milk almost every feeding. we use newborn flow nipples and have checked the drops. he spits up often as well. help?

Reply: Based on history it sounds like a recent problem, now question is does he actually choke while feeding or makes choking noises only. If he had a connection between his food pipe and breathing pipe then choking episodes may have started soon after birth, making choking noises can be because of floppy sound box muscles that gets better with age. Then comes reflux that is also common at his age.
