Question
At two months and fifteen days old, the baby often coughs while drinking plain water. I’m not sure what the cause is?
Answer
Coughing while drinking water is a common issue in babies, often due to underdeveloped organs. When feeding water, be careful not to raise the water column too high and avoid forcing the baby to drink. You can use a spoon to feed water to reduce the risk of coughing. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you and your baby good health.
