Question
Babies often cough while drinking breast milk, sometimes looking like they might vomit. Parents are worried about what could be causing this. Are there any solutions?
Answer
According to the parents’ description, the baby has been experiencing coughing while drinking breast milk recently, which may be due to swallowing too much air during feeding. To reduce this situation, it is recommended that parents feed the baby in a horizontal position and ensure that the baby’s posture is correct to minimize air intake. Additionally, parents can massage the baby’s abdomen to promote digestion. If the coughing is severe, it is suggested that parents take the baby to the hospital for a check-up and closely monitor the baby’s bowel movements.
