How does newborn choke milk do?

If the newborn chokes on the milk when lying flat, lie on its side and pat its back to avoid the milk flowing into the throat and airway. You can roll a clean handkerchief with your fingers to clean the baby's mouth and throat to avoid airway obstruction.

If the newborn has difficulty breathing or turns blue, it must immediately lie on the adult's legs or hard bed, and pat the newborn's back hard, about four to five times, so that it can cough up excess milk.

If the above can not be done, the newborn still does not respond, it has to be on its back and foot floor for hard slap. This is to make the newborn feel pain and cry, so that they can breathe smoothly and avoid hypoxia.
