Summary

This study looks at whether feeding babies in a side-lying position is safer than the usual upright cradled position. About 40 infants with swallowing problems will have a special X-ray swallow test in both positions to see which one reduces the risk of liquid going into the airway. The goal is to give parents and therapists clear evidence on the best feeding position.
