Regards,
From the information you conveyed, complaints when your baby is breastfeeding, may be caused by a choking condition or improper synchronization between breastfeeding and breathing, this can occur when your baby is drinking milk too quickly, is too full, or is in a wrong breastfeeding position. too low.
Therefore, if you encounter this condition, then you can adjust the position of your baby in a comfortable condition with respect to the height of the nipple and the position of the baby's stomach. If the baby's position is too low, the risk of choking can occur. In addition, if your baby is drinking breast milk quickly, you can control it by stopping it for a while, thereby reducing the risk of the baby choking.
However, if this complaint still persists, it is necessary to have an immediate examination by a pediatrician to determine other possible causes, such as the baby having the flu, or coughing. Treatment will be given by a doctor if necessary and according to the results of the examination obtained.
That's the information we can convey, read also the discussion.
