Baby choked every time he tried to eat due to rare condition diagnosed as 'reflux'

A baby with a devastating heart condition began choking and vomiting whenever he was fed.

Mum Tahli Kershaw was told 20 weeks into her pregnancy that son Ralph Thompson had patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).

Doctors classed the unborn tot as a "failure to thrive" and his parents, from Ainsdale, Merseyside, were warned he would never put on weight.
