A member asked:
Is it normal for my baby to pause for a few seconds in between drinking milk.i am not sure if he is having difficulty breathing.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Try it. You cannot swallow & breathe at the same time, both functions use parts of the same channel. An infant should pause during the feeding process although many will not detach or loose perceived suction.
