Suggest Treatment For Shortness Of Breath In Babies

My baby is 2 months old and tends to spit up through his nose and then his body stiffens up and he can t catch his breath. Can you tell me what this is and what proper steps as a parent I should take when this occurs throughout the day. He does it this randomly at any given time of the day.

Hi

These pukes are common in this age group. It occurs due to gastroesophageal refluxes. Most cases improve within a few months. I would recommend you to avoid over feeding, give proper burping in between and after feeds and keep him head end slightly up in crib. You may use Gaviscon if problem persists.
Take care
