Question

If a newborn baby has phlegm in their throat, and they only breastfeed for a few minutes, do they need to see a doctor?

Answer

It is recommended to first try to help the baby cough up the phlegm and observe if there is any improvement. At the same time, extend the breastfeeding time to 15 to 20 minutes. If the baby stops after a few minutes, they may be full, so feed them on demand. Remember to give your baby plenty of water.
