Pediatrician,  's  Response
There are various problems seen in Digeorge Syndrome like congenital heart diseases, frequent infections, developmental delay, learning problems, cleft palate etc.
In Digeorge Syndrome cranial nerves, which control food intake and swallowing, aren't developing correctly, which contributes to mis-coordination. Patients typically have trouble coordinating the suck/swallow/breath pattern, resulting in slow nipple feedings interrupted by gagging or regurgitation, recurrent vomitings etc.

Feeding baby in small sips rather than big boluses , proper position while feeding, keeping baby upright over shoulder for 10-15 minutes after feeding, medications like domperidone for vomiting etc. might help in relieving vomitings.
