My daughter had this because she came so fast and there wasn't enough time for her to be suctioned by my pushing.
Her first day it was horrible. Lots of gagging. One point at the hospital she turned BLUE! I freaked but the nurse was right there when it happened.
What I did was put my arm flat out and have her belly down on it with her head low and pat her back. It came out. I had to do that the next night for her as well and a whole blob of mucus came out. It was crazy the amount. After that she hasn't really done it again. She would still choke a bit on the colostrum but once my milk came in she was ok.
It's terrifying!!
