Hi jessko, r u giving yr bb drink milk powder? If yes, that's is normal.. But hv to monitor & let bb drink more water. The best is get advice from doctor

Landy, I'm bf my bb. But when he's drinking den I can hear those phlegm sound. Went for his check up at polyclinic mention to the doctor and say, will recover when bb abit older if nt, will need to go pd to suck out. I'm worry!

my mum actually force bb phelgm out by pocking at her throat..

I think u better switch to pediatric doctor, they will teach u how to loosen the phlegm using hand to pat his back ( just like we pat after his drinking milk) ...
把大拇指收在手掌心，手掌微弯。pat softly so u won't hurt the bb, need to pat for 5mins ...
This method teach by my bb pediatric @ TMC...
