My Baby Is Very Agitated, Caughing, Grunting While Feeding and Buping

Please get him back to a Dr. if you think he is having trouble breathing! Go when the baby is hungry and feed him right there in front of the Dr. and show him what's happening.

Some other ideas: You have a fast/forceful letdown. Make sure he is not laying down and nursing, but try to keep him verticle so that gravity isn't causing the milk to come out even faster. Please check out this website and see if it describes your baby: <http://www.kellymom.com/bf/supply/fast-letdown.html&gt;. If you are pumping and feeding from bottles, make sure you are using very slow nipples, or even try a different bottle type with a slower nipple and again, make sure he's not lying down to drink from the bottle.

Another clue is the green diaper. There are 2 classic causes for this. You have an oversupply problem (this often goes hand-in-hand with the fast letdown of milk), and your baby is getting all foremilk and not hindmilk. The imbalance can cause a lot of gas, causing agitation, etc. The kellymom.com site above has tips for this too.

A second cause of green diapers is a food allergy - often dairy. Try cutting milk products out of your diet and see if that helps. A food allergy can go hand-in-hand with reflux, which several others have mentioned.

Really sounds like a forceful letdown/oversupply issue to me. If you want personal tips on this, message me.

This is very concerning. You need more medical advice. Go back to the doctor or possibly to a pediatric GI doc. I don't think this can be solved with advice on this board. I think you need a doctor right away.

This I your baby! Cost does not matter! Get him to a doctor now! A baby should not stop breathing while eating! You should not be going by what strangers on the Internet say you need a doctor.

It sounds like he has reflux. You need to keep him up right after ALL feeding for at least 30 minutes and get a Dr appt asap.

Oh dear, it's terrible to read, I can't imagine how awful it is to watch all this happening to a baby...poor little sweetie! Run to the doctor, asphixia is NOT normal. If you were exclusively breastfeeding I would have mentioned that milk may go in his throat too fast (happened to my baby) but from the bottle..I don't think so. Go to the doc and get him checked so he can feel better asap! Good luck

I soothed my similar behaving baby by giving him babies magic tea. I also used to drink this tea to pass its contents through my milk supply.

If his breathing is really stopping, then he needs to be seen by a Dr. asap. Tell the Dr. how serious it is. It could be something like reflux where you will need to take the baby to pediatric GI. My daughter had severe reflux, she did much better with breastfeeding then the bottle, since the bottle made her more gassy and the reflux worse. But it could also be something else. He needs to be checked out immediately, and I would take him back to the Dr and demand they do something. Make it very clear to them that this is an emergency and you will not sit by and watch your child suffer. sometimes you need to be pushy with Dr.s to get the help for your child since a baby can't speak for themselves, and sometimes Dr.s don't take things as serious as they should. Of course many new parents worry about everything and so that makes it difficult for them to sort what needs further evaluation and what is just normal worry. So as a parent if you know something is not right, fight for more help. It sounds like this is a very serious problem, and you should call right away for an appointment. I hope you get the help you need for your baby. Some tips if it is reflux, I had to feed my daughter with her sitting almost upright, and then keep her upright for an hour after feeding. I had to burp her a lot during feedings, and had to feed her before she got too hungry as that made the problem worse. I would watch the clock and then nurse her before she was acting hungry. Waking her to feed her if needed. She was also put on meds which didn't help much until she was older. Was suggested to use cereal in bottle which made it worse. The best help was feeding her before she was super hungry and burping a lot during feeding and upright after feedings and then tummy rubs later to relieve gas. But none of this will help if it is someo other problem. Please take him back to the Dr.
