How to avoid breast milk inhalation air

To avoid inhaling air from breast milk, you should choose the correct breastfeeding position when feeding your baby. Usually, it is recommended to finish other things, such as changing diapers, before breastfeeding your baby so as not to interrupt the feeding in the middle. After you have finished other things that may interrupt the feeding, it is recommended that the mother breastfeeds in a sitting position, with the baby on her lap and one hand gently lifting the head and neck area so that the baby’s head is close to the breast area while the baby holds the nipple and most of the areola. If the mother has large breasts, she can hold part of the breast with her hand. Once the baby is contained, the mother’s arms can naturally relax to hold the baby. In addition, it is recommended not to disturb the baby or make the baby laugh while feeding, so that the baby is distracted while eating and does not swallow a lot of air while crying and laughing. If your baby cries for a long time, it is generally not recommended to feed your baby right away. If you feed your baby immediately, it may cause your baby to inhale air and cause choking and coughing, so you can wait until your baby’s mood is stable before feeding your baby. At the same time, after the baby has finished drinking, you can hold the baby upright, put the baby’s head gently on the mother’s shoulder, and pat the baby’s back to promote burping and help him/her expel the inhaled air.
