cold ??? remedy ???
Brief Answer:
Not a cause for concern
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health care magic.
Sometimes a child makes grunting like sound while feeding. It is normal and occurs when the flow of milk is high. It is not a cause for concern and does not indicate cough or mucus. Nothing needs to be done about it. However, pressing the nipple between two fingers while feeding the baby can help in reducing it.
