Destiny did have some trouble with this. She had one brady at the 
hospital about a week before discharge which caused her to be discharged 
with an apnea monitor. But before that she hadn't had any for about 3 weeks.
Once home,  feeding became a nightmare since she would choke and 
brady at every feeding. Turned out that the nipples I was using were too 
soft and she was getting too much formula per mouthful and couldn't 
swallow fast enough. Once I switched nipples, the trouble was gone. Of 
course, by then I was a nervous wreck!
