Babies who are over ten days old need to drink water to replenish their fluids, but parents often find that their children choke when feeding them water, which can cause them to cough uncontrollably and affect their respiratory system, making parents very anxious. So, what should a baby who has been drinking water for more than ten days always choke?
A baby who has been drinking water for more than ten days can adjust the feeding position appropriately, slow down the speed as much as possible, and feed water in small amounts multiple times. It should be noted whether the large hole in the water cup used by the baby to drink water causes the water to flush out, leading to the baby choking frequently, or if the large hole in the pacifier causes the baby to constantly choke on water.
If the baby is choking on water, they should be placed prone on the adult's lap or bed, vigorously tapping their back to make them cough up. When feeding your baby water, the speed must be controlled appropriately and appropriately. Do not be overly impatient, and do not let your baby drink water with their head up. Use a suitable feeding posture to keep your baby's body tilted at around 45 degrees, allowing the water in your stomach to naturally flow into the small intestine. This reduces the chance of choking compared to feeding while lying down.
For young babies, frequent choking on milk, water, and sticky bubbles from the mouth, as well as phlegm in the throat, are all symptoms of pneumonia. In this case, it is necessary to go to the hospital to see a doctor. Frequent choking on water sometimes requires going to the hospital to see a doctor and identify the cause, in addition to issues with drinking posture and utensils.
