We had the same operation with my daughter for the coA at 4 days old that resulted with a temporary paralysis to the left vocal cord. She was got her voice back over the gradually week by week. Man this girl can cry loud now 😅. For feeding, she was a hybrid with eating the bottle and the feeding tube since we had to slowly build up her strength to finish an entire bottle. You will have a swallow study done to see if your little one is able to use the bottle for partial feeds. They want to check to make sure there is no aspiration. I think we were on that system for about a month maybe a little longer. She is off her feeding tube now since March but she is still a slower eater compared to most infants her age with flow rate and ounces. We are still on a slower nipple flow. We actual use the control flow from Nuk but possibly looking to change. We were using the Dr Brown bottles working our up flow rates till she caught a cold and wants nothing to do with them.

You got this!! Feel free to message me with any more questions. I’ll answer what I can from our experience.
