Hello,
* As per my surgical experience, the difficulty in breathing with drinking of milk indicates most possible issue of tracheoesophageal fistula, a development disorder giving multiple problems in newborn.
* The ultimate issue is to operate the fistula after the clinical confirmation with an x-ray diagnosis. If any of the reports are available, kindly share with me for further reference.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
