Summary

The purpose of the investigator's study is to evaluate the causes of feeding difficulty in infants. New treatments can be possible only if the cause is known. In this study, the investigator plans to evaluate the movement of the muscles in an infant's mouth, throat (pharynx) and food pipe (esophagus) that are responsible for moving the food down into the stomach and that help protect an infants airway.
