Gulping down milk

BB

My son seems to GULP down milk when breast feeding, to the point it will cause him to cough. He doesn’t have this issue if bottle fed - which I was told was the opposite (that he should drink quicker from bottles).

Is there any way to fix this? I feel bad and am almost considering being exclusively a pumping mom - which is NOT what I wanted...

He’s only a week old, he’s my first baby, so I’m just figuring out this parenting thing and it breaks my heart to be the one causing him to gasp and cough.
