Baby stopped breathing during bottle feed, any advise or support???

[diddle]

Hi,

I have a friend who's 2 wk old baby has stopped breathing twice whilst having her bottle feed, the midwife has said it is very common and told her what to do, but i was just wondering if anyone else has had any experience of this. Or know where i can find out more.

sounds 'maybe' like wind? although i wouls also be looking for proper answers..hope your friend and her littlle one are ok

The baby is fine, mom is very very shook up, can't imagine how scary it must be. She went stiff and just stopped breathing, I wonder if its her milk going the wrong way and her wind pipe closng to protect her lungs.

well i was told when dd small that some babies 'tubes' are too wide(hence colic etc), amybe the baby is swallowing too much?, try a smaller opening on the teat maybe?
