Panting on breasts

Nav

My 7 weeks old breathes too fast while breastfeeding like he is panting.. and every-time he is sputtering or coughing while on breast.

Is it normal?

Sounds like your letdown to fast for baby. I had the same problem with my little girl I found laying down on my side and baby on my bed worked better. Also pumping before feeding baby works to as letdown is super fast as 1st then it slows.. baby will get used to your fast letdown just takes a few weeks for them to know how fast to suck 😁 My little girl 14wks and we had no problems with choking on my boob for a 7wks now.

Bet your letdown is too forceful. Try a more relaxed pose where gravity isn’t assisting with letdown
