Ainsley has a tracheostomy (breathing tube) and dysphagia (difficulty eating). In this video she we are working on drinking water from a bottle while wearing a PMV. This video was made for friends and famiy to see her progress. Some children with a trach are better able to eat and/or drink. For more information about Ainsley or her medical conditions please see her blog at ainsleyrae.blogspot.com

  • I'd like to add as a general note to others that this was good lip closure and sucking for AINSLEY who DOESN'T really do well with a bottle, and is not intended as an example of successful feeding of a trached child for others.

  • Right, we wouldn't, but babies can drink from a bottle while laying on their back. You're right it is not the best position. At the time that this video was taken she was unable to sit up. When in the highchair she would not tip the bottle up so she wouldn't get any water. Plus since her lip closure wasn't/isn't very good laying on her back would help the water go the right way instead of down the front. She was protected from aspirating due to swelling. Sadly she still will not take a bottle.

  • gummibearmelissa you really need to shut your mouth i've viewed other comments by you and you're just really f*ing rude. Ainsley is doing well esp. with her mom and is a blessing. HONESTLY gummibearmelissa if you have nothing nice to say, why do you watch all their videos? Evil ppl like you are why society is so hard for others who are different.

  • way to go Ainsley!! you're doing such a great job.

     such a beautiful little girl! :o)

  • is she in nappies

  • shes beautiful shes so blessed to have a parent like you i hope all the best for your family

  • she looks like she is in a lot of pain.

  • how old is she.

  • She did really great! She should be sitting up though when eating/drinking though. If you think about it, we dont lie down to eat or drink, it would be tough on us and harder on our little ones with special needs due to cooridnation. JMO though. Glad she is doing well!!!!!
