** Given that VFSS does not represent the real life situation, the substance being used does not come even close to breast milk and breast fed babies suddenly given a bottle may not respond as they otherwise would, I must contend that the "aspiration" issue is still being misidentified by clinicians consistently. It is reflux that must be considered first and foremost as the culprit in any respiratory problem until conclusively proven otherwise.
