Didn't Morgan have a tube, then have it removed once he didn't need it anym= ore? Moms (like me) often have concerns that once the tube goes in, it may never come out, and when a baby feeds orally already, it is like a step backwards to put one in. Debbie, mom to Baby Claire (T18) http://www.debbwebb.com/Claire/ Obviously I'm not Holly. :) I've been concerned about that too. Hannah aspirates everything. That is why we are getting the Vital-Stim therapy for her to see if they can "train" her epiglottis to protect her airway again.
