Question
Does a half-month-old baby coughing up milk during sleep pose any potential dangers?
Answer
Coughing up milk in babies is normal, as their esophagus and stomach passage is relatively narrow. To reduce the risk of coughing up milk, parents should adopt the correct breastfeeding position, avoid lying down while feeding, and hold the baby upright after feeding, gently patting the back until the baby burps, and then place the baby on their side.
