Hi...by what you quote I feel that the infant is having a congenital anomaly of the food pipe and breathing tube. It could even be a tracheo-esophageal fistula. Such kids might have recurrent aspiration and lower respiratory infections.

I suggest you get evaluate him further and post a direct query to me on this website with scanned copies of all the investigations and discharge summary of the baby.
