Reflux / choking ? Any ideas?

My 9 week old baby has started to choke for a few seconds, every day, for the last week. Sometimes it will be during a feed, other times when she is crying really hard. I dont have a very large milk supply so am sure its not a fast let down. Should I be taking her to see the doctor - or even A&E?
I am worried something might be quite wrong...

I would of said fast let down of milk as my baby does that sometimes during a feed but ur saying otherwise so I would take ur baby to ur health visitor.

One of my DTs did this and it was diagnosed as silent reflux. It always used to happen a little while after a feed, normally when she was sleeping, and so I just tilted her cot/moses basket up a bit and it seemed to help.

Choking sounds like silent reflux - look it up and see if there are any other symptoms - frequent hiccups, unhappy lying flat, generally miserable. lots can be done so speak to your GP or search it on here if that sounds familiar. HTH
