Question
What to Do If a One-Month-Old Baby Feels Phlegm After Drinking Milk?
Answer
One possibility is a respiratory infection, which leads to phlegm. Another possibility is congenital laryngospasm, which may be caused by low calcium during pregnancy, leading to poor development of the baby’s laryngeal cartilage. If laryngospasm is the cause, this issue is not serious; most children recover before the age of 2.
