My baby is 7 months and every now n then he’s been waking up choking on spit; he freaks out he can’t breathe and gasps…

My son had reflux when he was born. Dr prescribed him ranitidine and we would burp him good. Also feed him sitting up ward no lay back . and incline when sleeping . but yes they do grow out of it. So hang in there

Both my girls have reflux and it’s so scary. For us it started couple weeks after birth and my almost 3yr old still chokes in her sleep but it’s very seldom. My 3month old has this multiple times a day and it gets so scary at times. My Dr told me it takes 6 -18 months to grow out of it.

@milnera2014, yea I’m gunna try that I ordered a incline so he’s not flat

@essie88, ok I will thanks!

Remember sometime babies forget to breathe I would always blow in thier face when my kids would do that and he could have more saliva my oldest son had alot of saliva and a lazy tongue so he would Also choke on his spit maybe try to have him sleep alittle but up so he not laying flat

My 2 month old has done that a couple of times as well it really scares me when it happens. But I have not asked her doctor I'm hoping she out grows it. But I see your baby is already 7 months and still does it makes me want to ask. Let me know what the doctor saysif you ask.... She has an appointment on Tuesday for her first shoots I'm going to try to remember to ask ☺.

Yeah it’s hard to say unfortunately, just call his doctor to make sure , could be anything hopefully the incline works for him though then he could just be choking or swallowing the wrong way and it’s causing him to choke ..

I’m gunna buy him an incline. Great idea!

@jellybeans_mumm, no he doesn’t eat late and I make sure he doesn’t go to sleep right away because of this . My husband insists on giving him a pillow but I keep telling him he can’t have one

Yeah it’s scary hearing them doing that so I can just imagine , maybe reflux is he eating late ? Maybe pop his head up while sleeping like an incline just until u talk to them .. hope he gets better ❤️

@jellybeans_mumm, I know that at first when their newborns it’s normal but he’s bigger now

@jellybeans_mumm, yea I’m gunna ask. I’m scared to let him sleep alone because this scares me. He wakes up screaming

Maybe try burping my newborn was doing that but stopped , could be reflux call his pedi?
