Patient's question:
Tianbao is 41 days old today, and he chokes every time he drinks water or eats milk! The help I want: How can I prevent the baby from choking!!!Doctor's answer:
Choking is a common abnormal symptom in infants, especially newborns. Pay attention to the nursing posture. When breastfeeding, place your feet on a small stool, hold the baby properly, and gently pinch the nipple with your thumb and index finger on the other hand to feed, preventing the nipple from blocking the baby's nostril or causing choking and vomiting due to too fast milk flow.Suggestions: When bottle-feeding, avoid using nipples with excessively large openings, and promptly adjust the baby's feeding speed. These are simple methods to prevent choking.
Choking is an abnormal symptom and must be examined by a doctor for timely and appropriate treatment. If the baby breathes smoothly after choking, it is best to encourage them to cry harder to observe their oxygen intake and exhalation during crying for any abnormalities (such as a change in voice tone, difficulty breathing, or severe chest depression). If any abnormalities are found, take the baby to the hospital immediately. If the baby cries loudly with strong vitality and a rosy complexion, it indicates no serious issues.
