My 11 mo dd chokes on ALL thin liquids. She is on a stage 1 avent nipple and one thickend elecare. Of course since she about to turn 1 I want to give her a sippy cup but she chokes EVERYTIME. Anyone have this experience? I have tried many different cup styles including straws. She even chokes on her formula if it isnt thickend in a stage 1 nipple! When she was 2 weeks old she choked severely and had to be hospitilized for a week. I am concerend that she hasnt grown out of it. She has had swallow studies which read normal.

Did she see a speech pathologist when she had her swallow studies?

my daughter will still choke some becuase she doesn’t pull the sippy cup away and ends up getting to much in her mouth. I haven’t really worried about it though, but I guess she doesn’t do it all the time. Maybe it is just going to take some more practice, because she is so used to the thickened drinks…start really slow with just a tiny sip and then pull the cup away. That is how my daughter started. Although she still chokes sometimes, it is not nearly as much as before. good luck

does she drink fast or no? my son chokes a lot too.. i think he was used to having it really thick for a while too, that has to be why… i have been wondering too why he chokes, and ends up vomitting… maybe slowly get the formula less thickened… and of course u know make sure she doesnt drink too fast
