How has he handled water in the sippy cup if you've tried that yet? DS hasnt done this - he was thrilled when we switched to faster flow bottles so he could chug faster! LOL. I would ask your ped just to reassure yourself it's fine! I am sure it is. All kids are different! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-month-old-coughing-and-sputtering-while-drinking#post-2550413 Tue, 17 May 2016 11:59:39 +0000 edelweiss 2550413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it could be reflux, or maybe his digestive system still needs a bit more time to handle any flow, whether from breast or bottle. but the sputtering reminds me of reflux. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-month-old-coughing-and-sputtering-while-drinking#post-2550137 Tue, 17 May 2016 08:46:05 +0000 peaches1038 2550137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 6 months old and has pretty much always coughed/sputtered while nursing. I thought it was due to my fast letdown. I've never fed him a bottle but DH does when he's home with him while I'm at work and he just told me DS does the same thing with bottles. We are using the slowest flow nipples bc it was recommended so he doesn't develop a bottle preference. Just wondering if this is normal? </p>
