My EBF baby starting coughing/gagging when she feeds

S

I think it’s because my flow is fast and she just can’t keep up. She’s only 9 days old. She will start drinking and then sometimes will cough and then gets scared and stops. Anyone also deal with this? The lactation consultant told me to just keep her elevated when feeding (like at a 45 degree angle) which I’m doing but doesn’t seem to help all the time.
