Parents improper feeding a child can choke a child
"Today, a baby was taken to my emergency room with no signs of life," began a Facebook post. "Her lungs are full of milk. She probably died of aspiration pneumonia. This is the result of feeding the baby while sleeping in bed while parents sleep."
Chao-Tiao Yumol, a doctor based in Quezon City, Philippines, posted the article.
"If an adult cannot drink water while lying down, then these children cannot," his post continued.
Babies are not yet able to let you know that they are upset, and therefore suffocate and have difficulty breathing without their parents knowing.
"I understand that not everyone has the knowledge of proper feeding techniques which is why I cannot blame parents who are suffering from losing this child. But ask the paramedics. or parents have experience in raising children to avoid this death ".
Doctors also recommend lifting the baby to the chest after a feed, and waiting until the baby pushes the excess milk and milk out of the stomach.
"Never feed your baby unattended and this usually happens at night".
The posts, which now have 24,000 likes and 30,000 shares, also illustrate the appropriate placement for parenting.
"Breastfeeding is beneficial for controlling aspiration pneumonia and preventing complications compared to bottle-feeding, regardless of its nutritional advantage over milk."
