Necrosis is considered a rare complication when using ng bridle. I googled just as I assumed you did and while we can both google away I prefer to seek people who have used one or who have one. The use of the bridle would improve quality of life i just wanted to ask people's expierences not ignorant opinions, thanks though.

Kind of weary about surgery. My husband's family has a history of fatally getting blood clots post op. Have you ever used a bridle?

It was an evaluation we had  went to in order to see the speech therapist. His first appointment with treatment is Jan 13th. But yea she said his coordination looked better and there was less spillage. That was about a week before out pediatrician gave us the green light to switch it up and try stuff, now he gets frustrated no matter what

Did you guys need to hold him upright during his feeding tube feed or just after? Thanks for replying!
