anyone elses lo gulp and can't catch their breath occasionally?

[MNORBURY]

Evie does this quite often, she gulps a few times as if she can't get her breath and sometimes gets upset by it as if it's scared her . I'm wondering if this is wind coming up or to do with her reflux or just another baby thing x

jake does something similar but with his bottle in his mouth. he seems to guzzle to much milk then be gasping for air but wont let go of the teat so he can breath. was quite scary at first but i just let him get on with it now. having read your post i wonder if it is wind but hes to much of a ganit to let go and burp. he always creates when i take the bottle out mid feed to wind him.

Harry does this too, usually when he gets a bit excited feeding or in the middle of a colic induced screaming fit. Am going to ask my HV tomorrow.

Emma used to do this all the time too! Only ever seemed to happen in her bouncy chair. She stopped doing it about a month ago.
