Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

Congratulations for breast feeding your baby.

If your baby is coughing regularly while breast feeding your baby needs to be examined by your doctor once. A baby may cough once in while during breast feeding. But regular coughing is definitely not normal and this requires to be further explored.

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
