What happens when a child chokes on milk? Pay attention to this situation

Newborn babies are very prone to choking on milk, and everyone should not ignore the dangers of choking. In severe cases, it may cause the baby to suffocate. Common causes of choking include incorrect feeding methods, baby's breathing problems, or some digestive tract diseases.

1. Incorrect feeding method

Many babies choke on milk because there is something wrong with their mothers’ feeding methods. If the baby is eating formula milk and the opening of the bottle is too large, the baby will suck too much milk into his mouth and suck the milk too quickly, which can easily cause the baby to choke. In addition, if mothers use the wrong posture when breastfeeding, it may cause the baby to choke on milk. When breastfeeding, mothers are advised to sit down and not let the baby lie flat on their legs. The baby's head must be higher than the lower body. At the same time, when breastfeeding, mothers are advised to choose a quiet place to avoid disturbing the baby while feeding.

2. The baby has difficulty breathing

If the baby has difficulty breathing, it is easy to choke on milk. Therefore, mothers should pay attention to observe their babies. If the baby shows symptoms of a cold or cough, appropriate measures must be taken to prevent the baby from choking on milk due to breathing problems. Secondly, parents like to choose to sleep with their babies and place the baby in the middle of the bed. If mothers feed the baby at this time, they must pay attention to air circulation and prevent the quilt from pressing on the baby, making it impossible for the baby to breathe in oxygen and causing choking or respiratory arrest.

3. The baby is ill

If babies are weak or have respiratory diseases, they may easily choke on milk.
