bf - coughing and spluttering!

[Bot]

Nearly every feed and often more than once Dylan chokes, coughs and splutters mid feed. I know this can be nirmal but I'm wondering if there's any way to reduce it? He does it if my milk comes out fast so I can express a bit off and it's ok, but this is different. He's got a bit lazier with his laych and its like the seal breaks, he takes in air and that sets him off. Not sure if I'm not holding.him right now hes bigger or what..... Any advice? X

If you express regularly it can make your flow faster than your baby needs it to be. Also silly question but is he a weezy baby in his sleep, my 1st did this for the short time I BF'd and he has always snored.

Sometimes noisy in his sleep. I dunno if he's just impatient and guzzling or what. Makes feeding time stressful!

Tyler would do this when he'd pull away I'd let it spray into a muslin for a bit then put him back on.

i think the gagging is when the milk hits the back of their throat unexpectedly, happens to us sometimes lol
