Please update when you can. My girl has LM. Its proven to be mild and we haven't done anything about it. Why did you have to have the study? What your baby having some other problems or is it the reflux that's the problem? My girl is now 17 months and has started to spit up food a bit. So totally reflux of some kind. I'll probably call her doctor this week. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swallow-study#post-2901360 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 09:05:07 +0000 magnolia 2901360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: thanks! She is used to taking reflux meds from the syringe so hopefully that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swallow-study#post-2901359 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 09:04:31 +0000 magnolia 2901359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peaches1038: thank you! I’m sorry it was so difficult. Baby girl is 5 months old. Hopefully it goes smoothly </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swallow-study#post-2901358 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 09:03:22 +0000 magnolia 2901358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: thank you. The appointment is at 9. It’s gonna be rough. I’m going to feed her right before 6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swallow-study#post-2901346 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 04:54:18 +0000 Ms. RV 2901346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS had three while overcoming vocal cord paralysis. I would question about not feeding after 6am unless your appointment is super early. It is generally to ensure that the kid is hungry enough during the study, but being over hungry is a problem too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swallow-study#post-2901344 Fri, 01 Nov 2019 21:55:00 +0000 peaches1038 2901344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son had a modified barium swallow around 15 months and it actually was very difficult for him. He hated the taste of the barium and he also had to be strapped down in a seat which he HATED. We didn’t get a very good recording bc he was crying so much. Hopefully since your LO is a lot younger, it’ll be easier!! This is similar to the set up we had: </p> [attach=1712/19/q0bmro.337x600.9BE26CA9-7700-4EEF-A162-718435DBB775.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swallow-study#post-2901327 Fri, 01 Nov 2019 13:48:56 +0000 HappyBaker 2901327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@magnolia: definitely agree to bring whatever type of bottle she’s most used to, possibly an extra empty one as well. My son had one at 9 months and they tried giving the solution to him via syringe but his issue was he couldn’t swallow from anything not a bottle so we ended up putting it in an empty bottle and giving it to him that way. It was a quick test though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swallow-study#post-2901326 Fri, 01 Nov 2019 13:44:09 +0000 jhd 2901326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@magnolia: yes I would call and ask what you need to bring. Def bring whatever she is most used to as far as bottles etc I hope it goes smoothly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swallow-study#post-2901325 Fri, 01 Nov 2019 13:41:34 +0000 magnolia 2901325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: thanks! :grin: I’m sure I’m more anxious than the baby :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swallow-study#post-2901324 Fri, 01 Nov 2019 13:41:11 +0000 magnolia 2901324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: thank you! I guess I should ask if I should bring pumped milk? She’s breastfed but she will take a bottle </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swallow-study#post-2901319 Fri, 01 Nov 2019 12:59:08 +0000 jhd 2901319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@magnolia: my oldest son had a couple. They add something to the liquid and are able to watch it on the X-ray. It doesn’t hurt at all and I was able to watch. The first time he was a newborn in NICU and the second he was maybe around 9 or 10 months old?</p> <p>ETA he’s 5.5 now so it’s been a while but I’m happy to answer any questions I can! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swallow-study#post-2901318 Fri, 01 Nov 2019 12:55:08 +0000 Sams Mom 2901318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haven't had it done, but the surgeon my desk mate works for orders them fairly often. It seems like even the anxious panicky patients don't even mind them though... So that's good </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swallow-study#post-2901311 Fri, 01 Nov 2019 11:48:03 +0000 magnolia 2901311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My almost six month old has laryngomalacia and silent reflux. .We had a ENT appointment this week and he recommended a swallow study and a GI visit</p> <p>Any experience with the swallow study? All they really told me was not to feed her before 6am. </p>
