Patient's question:
The baby just turned one month old, and every time I feed her with a bottle, she always has mild choking. Sometimes she chokes two or three times in one feeding. Although she coughs a few times and then it's fine, I'm always on edge every time I feed her! I'm so upset about feeding her. The nipple hole is the smallest size, and I've paid attention to her feeding posture. During feeding, I can hear her making loud and rapid dry swallowing sounds. I don't know what the reason is? Is it because she's sucking too fast? Is it my problem or the baby's problem? I haven't fed her when she's very hungry either. Also, my husband feeds her without choking. I really don't understand what's going on? I'm so confused.Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant,The child's stomach is quite shallow now. When feeding, try to tilt the bottle at a 45-degree angle. After feeding, gently pat the back to expel all the air in the stomach. This can help alleviate the symptoms of spitting up.
The above is the suggestion for the question "My baby is just one month old, and she always has mild choking when I feed her a bottle." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
