I think I know whats wrong

I think Stewie has DYSPHAGIA. Its where he's literally afraid to take his bottle because the whole time hes not having reflux, but hes actually choking on every drop. It makes the liquid he takes aspirate into his lungs. It says the symptoms are:

  • screaming as soon as he sees a bottle
  • screaming and choking during bottle
  • being congested after eating
  • able to eat baby food and rice (because they are thicker)

I told the doctor today and she said if thickening it with rice doesnt help she will refer me to a specialist. Meanwhile he choked down about 8 ounces only today and went to sleep exausted and starving. I cried the whole time.

My back hurts, my head hurts, I feel like I havent slept like ever. I just want to lay down and not think about baby business. But hes all I can think about.
