When breastfeeding a baby, mothers often notice that the baby makes various sounds, such as phlegm in the throat or singing. Mothers often search for various solutions to problems, so what's the reason for the baby making a clicking sound while breastfeeding?
Mom, don't worry too much. This is a normal phenomenon, and it will gradually improve as the baby grows. Due to the underdeveloped cartilage of infants, sucking forcefully will produce a sound. By the time the baby is five months old, with the normal development of the larynx bone, this sound will gradually disappear. If the baby still experiences this condition after half a year old, the mother should go to the hospital to check if it is caused by other reasons.
Another reason is that infants have a relatively fast metabolism, and milk is easily digested by them. Infants also secrete hormones faster than adults, so there will be a large amount of nasal mucus in their noses. If the mother does not clean the baby's nose, it will affect the baby's breathing and make noise. The mother needs to use a wet cotton swab to clean the baby's nasal mucus to ensure normal breathing.
In addition, mothers should also consider whether the dry climate and excessive pollutants in the air are causing respiratory infections in infants. Infants have low immunity and are easily infected with diseases. Mothers should regularly observe whether their infants have symptoms of colds and take corresponding measures in a timely manner to ensure that their condition is under control.
