#asktheexpert baby removing little milk while breastfeeding, also has cough, is this normal?

Question

Accepted Answer

that is very normal that small children after taking breastfeeding will regurgitate small amount of milk.

if the amount of milk is less than 10 ml no need to worry.
 this curd like milk is normal and no treatment is required. 
but if the quantity of milk is more than you have to rule out any gastric problem the child might be having.
you can decrease the the regurgitation by giving more burping time to the child.

also due to common pathway at theg back between nasal cavity and the oral cavity the milk can come out through the nasal cavity also during the regurgitation and vomiting whigch is normal
meet your dr if vomiting is in large quantity and happening again and again
