Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello
Just ensure baby is getting adequate and liberal and exclusive breast feeding. Monitor weight of baby and growth. Avoid top feeding till 6 months strictly. If you feel baby gate or chokes do visit your pediatrician once. I would like to suggest you get baby vaccinated as per schedule.
