A member asked:
Why does it sound like my 3w old newborn is choking and trying to catch his breath after a feeding when he's asleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Baby Feeding: Could be that they have reflux or lots of post nasal drainage or a plugged nose. Also, the process of alternating breathing and swallowing is a tough thing for babies to learn and can take a little time.
