to already mothers...I'm losing my mind

My baby keeps choking in his sleep.  He's 2 days old. I don't know what to do. What's wrong with him?

My 3rd baby did this and i asked the midwife when she visited us and she told me it was cause we had a fast vaginal delivery so she wasn't "squeezed" out properly. It went away without having to get medical intervention. Get baby checked though you can never be too careful.

Happy new year...no questions asked, I'd definitely take the baby to the e.r. ASAP if you haven't already done so. Congrats on baby and I hope that there is a simple explanation that will relieve you of worries and relieve baby of the discomfort.  Best wishes!!

I would take him to the ER for a xray to make sure his lungs are clear. That shouldn't be happening and isn't normal!!

My baby was same. She was a c-section baby.  I was told its the mucus & all the c-section babies r same. U should definitely talk to Ur Dr. I was worried as well but then it turned out to be normal. I remember crying & nurses calmed me down. Good luck

Call his pediatrician!  We are not doctors and can not diagnose your son - only a doctor can do that.
