Try using a y-cut nipple. I think we started with the y-cut preemie nipple on a Dr Brown's bottle at one point. The preemie nipples are sometimes easier and the y-cut allows flow when its compressed. You'll figure something out! I would be careful with the breathing and have it checked out. Struggling for air can cause problems including fatigue. Getting help for breathing is not necessarily and easy way out but a necessary step to insure safety and may make feeding easier. Good Luck!
