Good morning,

I yesterday got a call from a mother with a baby with tracheomalacia. The
baby is three months old and did not gain any weight during the last month
and even before it was not really thriving well, he is only 300 g above
lowest weight.

I told the mother that this baby NEEDS to eat and gave all the advises
usually given in this situation of not thriving but have no experience with
the special condition of this baby. Is there anybody out there who is
experienced with babies with tracheomalacia? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
