TOF
When the baby is born. They cannot swallow Milk it comes back up. They made be very cold and covered in white stuff.
A feed tube is put up their nose and should go in to their stomach and an x ray is taken. The tube will get not reach their stomach and come out of their mouth.
The baby needs an operation at a TOF hospital to repair the gap. Sew the Oesophageal back to the stomach
If it is a big gap. Part of the baby stomach will be needed to join the gap. Lucky this only happens to 8 percent of Tof babies
