Question
How to deal with the frequent choking of newborns while drinking milk?
Answer
Choking on milk is a common occurrence in newborns, as their respiratory and digestive systems are not fully developed. This can lead to choking or vomiting during breastfeeding. These situations usually do not require excessive concern. During feeding, you can try to control the flow of milk and use proper patting techniques after the baby chokes to help expel the milk. Never hit the baby’s back forcefully, as this could cause injury. The mother can extend her fingers straight, place the palm of her hand against the baby’s back, creating an open space, and then gently pat the baby’s back. The above suggestions are for the question “Does a one-month-old baby have a problem if they often choke while drinking milk?” We hope this helps you and your baby stay healthy!
