What is the reason for the baby's heavy breathing when feeding?

When feeding, you may find that your baby's breathing is heavy and seems to be struggling, so you may worry about the impact on your baby's health. So when your baby's breathing is heavy while feeding, how should you mothers deal with and solve the problem effectively? Next, let’s take a closer look at the methods and common sense to quickly help your baby reduce the occurrence of this adverse problem.

It's normal for your baby to breathe heavily while feeding. Don't worry. There is a saying: "I'm using all my strength." When babies are feeding, their whole body is exerting force, so of course they will breathe heavily. They will also breathe heavily for a while after feeding and feel very tired. It's okay, just take a short rest and you'll be fine.

You must remember not to let your baby fall asleep while feeding. Let your baby eat in a semi-sitting position so that the milk (or other food) can go down easily. If you let your baby fall asleep while feeding, it is easy for the baby to choke. Do not put the baby down to sleep immediately after feeding. Hold the baby for about 15 minutes until all the milk is gone before going to sleep. To avoid accidents.

Sometimes babies will expend a lot of effort when sucking milk, so their breathing will be heavier, just like they are working hard. Generally, in this situation, parents do not need to worry too much. However, if the baby's breathing is heavy and accompanied by other discomfort symptoms, it should be taken seriously and the baby should be taken to the hospital for a more comprehensive examination in time.
