Is this okay?

Question

Okay my baby is 18 days old and she has a lot of saliva in her mouth and it seems like she wants to drink it but when she does it sounds like she's choking, I am a FTM and I am super worried.

I wanna know if this is ok. I am one of those people that run to the ER for everything. I don't wanna go again. :(

Answer

My little one does the same thing. My
Mom informed me that babies don't swallow like adults do and don't swallow extra saliva unless sucking on a bottle/pacifier. I use a suction bulb to suck all of that out. When she blows bubbles or sounds like she is gargling that's my cue. If you are worried maybe a call to your doctor will help. I would rush into the ER. Good luck!
