Choking while nursing

Sydney • mom of both 💗🩵

Hi ladies!!

My daughter just turned three weeks old & we have been having some issues with her choking while she is nursing. I will notice she is getting too much milk and she still stop sucking, so i pull her off and start to pat her back / hold her arm up whatever i need to do to help.. but it is taking her breath away and she starts crying once she catches her breath.. it makes me panic a little every time it happens. Is there anything i can do to prevent this from happening, or at least from happening so often? I do have a pump that i use but i dont always get to pump right before feeding. I don’t remember if this happened with my older daughter, but it seems like it did happen a few times.

Thanks in advance for any advice 😊
