Baby is 2 months and 15 days old. Every time they drink plain water, they choke. I don't know why.

Patient's question:

Baby is 2 months and 15 days old. Whenever they drink plain water, they choke, and I don't know why. The nipple size isn't very big, but they never choke when drinking flavored water. Is this a throat problem or something else?

Doctor's answer:

The issue you mentioned is very common! It's because the baby is still young and all their organs haven't fully developed yet. When you give your baby water, don't squeeze the bottle too high. Sometimes, if they don't want to drink, the water might be forced out and not sucked in properly, which can easily cause choking. You can also try feeding them with a spoon. These are suggestions for the question "My 2-month-old baby chokes every time I give them plain water, and I don't know why?" I hope this helps. Wishing you good health!
