worried that dd inhaled milk

Tried a cup for the first time. DD, 6 months, took a huge breath (in preparation for a yell) with a mouth full of milk. A look of panic and a big choking, spluttering cough followed. She seems fine now (10 mins later) and back on the boob but should I be worried that she has inhaled some milk?

no, i think she will have coughed, choked any out.

If she is a healthy 6m old she will be strong enough to cough it all out. Milk inhalation is only an issue where a baby is ill/weak.

choking and spluttering is good, will also happen plenty when weaning
