problems swallowing saliva

[starlight1]

Hi all new to this board so please bear with me, i have a 3month old baby who i seem to worry about continously, everything she does i worry (firt time mom), but sometimes she looks as if she is struggling to swallow her saliva, and sometimes even coughs or chokes on it, doctor tells me she is fine but i am still concerned, anyone had simular problems.

Thanks

Hi starlight - babies do drool, spit, splutter and generally make a huge amount of noise and moistness Our dd1 scared dh and I to death when we gave her her last dose of vit K. 9 years ago they had a sort of booster by mouth at 6 weeks - it came in a little plastic pellet and you squirted it in their mouth. Well she coughed and spluttered and arched her back and coughed a bit more - honestly I was putting on my shoes to go out and call someone for advice (didn't have a phone then) when she finally settled down. By which time we were both wrecks convinced we'd nearly killed her. I can't tell you how pleased I was to hear that dd3 would get all her vit k in one lot by injection!
Congrats on the baby anyway - what's her name?

Hi Northernlurker its really nice to hear that im not alone with my worries, her name is Ellie-May and she is my pride and joy the same as yours im sure! im just so worried that one day she wont catch her breath, feel like a neurotic wreck!

Gorgeous name. I'm a big fans of girls - I have three now, youngest is 6 months. Worrying goes with the territory I'm afraid!
