Sadie Robertson Huff shared an update on her daughter's health following the baby's "horribly traumatic" choking incidents.
During the Wednesday, May 20 episode of herWhoa That's Good podcast, the Duck Dynasty alum, 28, revealed she received a diagnosis from the doctor regarding her 9-month-old daughter Kit's recent choking incidents. Robertson Huff, who's a mom to daughters Kit, Haven, 3, and Honey, 5, recalled her first trip to the pediatrician where she found out the potential cause behind the choking incidents.
“Our first trip to the pediatrician, I tell him [that Kit] breathes really loud," she shared. "And he said, ‘Oh, yeah, she does. I can hear that.' He said, ‘I bet she has,' and he wrote it down … laryngomalacia.”
Robertson Huff said her doctor explained to her and her husband Christian Huff that their daughter has a "floppy throat" and "turbulent breathing," which are all consistent with the symptoms of the vocal box disorder.
“He said laryngomalacia is very common in babies,” Robertson said. “It's, like, their little airway, their voice box is supposed to be a little hole, but it's actually going to be shaped like this because the skin is kind of bent and that's what makes it kind of flop, and that's what makes her sound loud when she breathes."
"He says it's really, most of the time, nothing to worry about as long as she's eating fine, [and] her oxygen levels are good," she continued. "She never had dips in oxygen. She ate great. She was always great at nursing. Easy to switch to the bottle. So really, I wasn't worried about it."
Back in April, Robertson Huff opened up about how she was experiencing “waves of anxiety” since a scary choking situation involving her daughter Kit in an Instagram post.
“Kit was sitting in her high chair this week, eating a snack while I was finishing up dinner prep, when she began to choke,” Robertson recalled. “Within seconds, you could tell the severity of the situation. My mom pulled her from the high chair and placed my girl into my arms just as she stopped breathing.
“Everyone went into action and into prayer,” she continued. "Mom called 911, I started CPR, and everyone began to pray out loud and move the other kids downstairs.”

She said she'd previously watched several videos about CPR. The reality TV star said she “felt God's Spirit” guiding her as she put into practice everything that she learned from the clips.
“After following protocol for a baby choking and doing CPR, Kit miraculously coughed and began to breathe, just as the paramedics arrived… it was truly terrifying, but God,” said Robertson Huff.
“I rode in the back of the ambulance with my girl, still afraid, but praising God,” she continued. “Christian drove behind, following us, and told me there was a rainbow over the ambulance the whole way there😭🌈.
“We stayed the night for observation, but she charmed the nurses just a few hours later and is now perfectly healthy, happy, and brightening everyone's day!” Robertson Huff said.
The WHOA That's Good Podcast host went on to say she wanted to share her family's experience to encourage others to prepare for potential emergencies.
