Babies need to be fed formula or breast milk when they are young, but parents may find that babies are prone to choking on milk. There are various reasons why babies choke on milk, but in fact, it can be improved through care. Baby choking requires care and prevention in daily life. So, what should I do if my baby is choking on milk?
1. Stimulate the baby's body parts. When a baby is choking on milk, it is necessary to pat the baby's body parts, such as the back and stimulate the baby's soles, so that the baby can spit out the milk to avoid choking. Parents need to measure their baby's body or support their upper body to prevent breathing obstruction and potential danger.
2. Clean up oral vomit. After choking on milk, there will be residual vomit in the baby's mouth. To prevent vomit from affecting the baby's breathing, it is recommended to clean it up in a timely manner. You can wrap your baby's fingers around gauze to clean it, and then wipe it with water.
3. Correct feeding method. When feeding a baby, posture is very important. It is not recommended to feed the baby lying down. It is better to adopt a hug style feeding. When breastfeeding, do not tease the baby. When the milk is too strong, you also need to press your fingers on the nipple. After breastfeeding, you also need to pat the baby's back to relieve choking. When breastfeeding, do not force the baby. Babies who resist breastfeeding are prone to crying and choking while drinking.
