POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy6 months agoA. It’s common for newborns and infants to breathe a little faster while feeding because they are coordinating sucking, swallowing, and breathing at the same time. However, if your baby is breathing very fast while bottle-feeding, here’s what to check:
What’s Normal? Infant breathing rate: Newborns and young babies usually breathe 30-60 times per minute at rest and increase slightly while feeding. Pauses in breathing: Short pauses (up to 10 seconds) between breaths are normal. Noisy breathing: Some snorting or mild grunting can happen while feeding but should not be persistent. Signs of Concern:
If your baby shows any of these, consult a doctor:
❌ Breathing faster than 60 breaths per minute continuously
❌ Struggling to breathe (flaring nostrils, pulling in ribs, wheezing)
❌ Turning blue or pale around lips and face
❌ Making high-pitched sounds while breathing
❌ Pausing breathing for longer than 10 seconds frequently
What You Can Do:
✔️ Ensure proper bottle angle – Hold the bottle at a slight tilt to avoid excess air intake.
✔️ Use slow-flow nipples – A faster flow might be overwhelming and cause rapid breathing.
✔️ Burp often – Take breaks to burp and allow normal breathing to resume.
✔️ Check for congestion – A blocked nose can make feeding harder. Use saline drops if needed.
✔️ Hold baby upright – Keep your baby’s head slightly elevated while feeding.
If you’re still unsure, try counting her breaths when she’s calm and resting. Let me know if you need help tracking her breathing rate!
