My baby chokes on milk

This happens to my little one, my midwife advised feeding them sat up instead of laid down and hold the bottle horizontal so it slows the speed they take the milk down. X

It may be the nipples flow (extra slow/slow/medium/fast) it may also be the shape of the nipple just not working for her!

Thank you! And do you see a difference? Or your little one still chokes? It’s so scary, it just happened and I couldn’t stop crying 😩 x

We bottle fed my first son and my little one and I found that whenever the teat was too big this happened. It's trial and error to find what teat suits them best at what time.
I did read that breastfed babies shouldn't go beyond a size 1 teat? But honestly just think it's trial and error until you find the sweet spot.

Yes as others said this happened to us and we reduced the teat to a slower flow . Also give her breaks and keep her upright. Hope it helps.

What teat size are you using? There’s a size 0 which is the slowest one x

This is exactly the same as my april baby! She was choking on every bottle it was terrifying I cried so much around feed time. She doesnt anymore though so maybe will grow out of it! I held as upright as we could and the bottle kind of horizontal slightly higher so she could really try and control the flow. & did lots of little breaks. We also had a clicking sound on every sip and lots of milk dribbling out the sides of her mouth so got her checked for tongue tie ect. You could always message your HV as they may recommend something or check something out that none of us on here have said. For example in my case tongue tie never crossed my mind but I called the HV one day upset with the choking (and the other signs my girl had around feeding) and they were the one to mention tongue tie. I do get it - the choking is awful so defo reach out if you need too. X

This happened to me today at the breast. I sat her up gave her a good pat on the back and she signaled she wanted to go back on for more milk
