CouldBeRefluxMaybe..: How long has this been going on?Does the baby spit up a lot? Any choking episodes WHILE feeding?Is your baby gaining good weight? You should be coming up on your baby's two month well child check, this is something you need to discuss with the pediatrician so they can get the details to determine what further evaluation needs to be done. If you don't already have the appt set up please call 2day.

Follow up/advice: This symptom could be related to aspiration of liquid into the airway during feeding. I would advise feeding the baby at a 30 degree angle and having your pediatrician observe feedings.
