Hi Terriann,
Check for "laryngomalacia" and you will find some info in the archives.

In brief, extending the baby's head strongly during feeding, using prone 
positions for feeding (have mom recline or lay on her back, and baby lay 
on her chest or belly), and giving short frequent feeds is usually 
sufficient for babies with developmental respiratory issues to gain.  
She can also pump and supplement by fingerfeeding (one can fingerfeed in 
prone) or Haberman feeder on the slowest flow if baby cannot get all he 
needs by breastfeeding.
