Question
What are the negative effects of infants frequently choking while breastfeeding?
Answer
Choking while breastfeeding in infants is usually not a major issue, but if it occurs frequently, it may lead to the inhalation of too much air, causing coughing or aspiration pneumonia. When feeding, it should be avoided to feed the baby when they are crying, as this makes it easier for them to swallow air. Additionally, milk that is poured too quickly can also cause infants to choke. If this situation persists, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up and may require hyperbaric oxygen therapy, along with neuro-nutritional medications to enhance nutrition and rest, while also supplementing vitamins and trace elements.
