Gagging/choking - is this normal?

DD (bf) has always done this, and it freaks me out. She takes a couple of deep gulps and then stops breathing, looks at me, opens and closes her mouth like a fish a few times, sometimes does a whole body cat puking like movement, coughs, and then draws a breath. It doesn't seem to distress her at all, but distresses me! Happens a couple of times a day, and feeding position doesn't seem to make a difference.

Should I worry?

Mmm my DS did this because my milk comes out really fast and the milk would go down the wrong hole if DS wasn#t concentrating (e.g. he'd fallen asleep). Only way to solve was to make sure he was on top of the boob so milk was going uphill - I had to stop feeding lying down! I also tried block feeding - feeding from the same boob for 2 sometimes 3 feeds before switching.
