Breastfeeding coughing

My daughter is 5.5 m old.. From about when she was 6th week she used to cough during multiple feeds and then after 3months or so it used to happen like once a day. Now it is once a week or so mostly when she doses off while nursing, she relaxes her breath and suddenly realizes she has milk in her mouth and sputters. Rarely when she is awake and nursing - mostly it has happened when she cries for something else but I think its for hunger and I feed her, she is distracted and she coughs.
Anyone else had this happen at 5.5 months where their LO's used to cough while breastfeeding? I just want to understand if it is normal!
I have fed her some purees after she turned 5months and she swallows some and spits out some with her drool but I'm planning to start solids everyday in 2 more weeks once she turns 6 months and I'm kinda nervous.
Anyone had similar experience please let me know.
