I have a 2 week old, sometimes while I'm nursing or after a feeding, she sounds like shes choking on a burp. is this normal? I will call my pediatrician in the morning, but I'm interested to hear if anyone had this with a baby?
thanks!

If your milk lets down faster than she can swallow, she may in fact be choking.

does it happen when she's not eating as well ...
I had a baby who did this & I thought she had asthma & she does
the voice sounds like a squeak when they breathe in - aka as wheezing

Wheezing is when exhaling. When there's a squeaky/honky noise when baby is inhaling, she might have a "stridor" aka tracheomalacia or laryngomalacia, which is when the cartilage around the trachea or larynx isn't so well-formed so the air passing by the loose cartilage causes that weird sound. But it doesn't sound like choking.

One of mine did something similar (not immediately after feeding, a little later) and turned out to be reflux. Totally went away once on reflux meds.

my six month old was born with a relatively benign, out-growable condition called laryngomalacia. basically, the muscle above the larynx is weak, and it leads to frequent gagging and choking, as well as noisy breathing. she also tired out very easily when eating. she was diagnosed by a lactation consultant, who gave us some tips for helping her eat more easily, and confirmed by her ENT.

My baby has it too. It also makes him more prone to pneumonia. The effects of it though are supposed to resolve at about two years

My baby had the same thing and doctor said it's Gerd. Zantac helps. Also, she used to take premade formula (she had reaction to powder) but was recently restarted on powder and hasn't had as much choking since even though she is off the zantac.

My babies did this, they all had reflux, but it was mostly due to too much milk coming at them too fast. there's ways to minimize that, nurse while leaning back and hold the nipple between your thumb (on top) and fingers (underneath) and gently apply pressure to slow the flow. that is, if you suspect that's whats happening.
either way, its a good idea to speak to the ped.
