What should I do if the baby chokes on breast milk and it goes into the lungs?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. What should I do if the baby chokes on milk and it goes into the lungs?

Doctor's answer:

Choking on milk is actually a self-protective mechanism for babies, but it's also important to adopt the correct breastfeeding method: when breastfeeding, place your feet on a small stool to hold the baby securely. With your other hand, gently pinch the nipple between your thumb and index finger to feed, preventing the nipple from blocking the baby's nostrils or causing choking, coughing, or vomiting due to fast milk flow. There are many triggers for respiratory issues in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment,,and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
