Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Constant choking, absence of laughing or crying needs a careful and detailed evaluation. She can have a delayed milestone and it can cause multiple problems. As your baby was normal during delivery or after delivery, a small amount of puking is normal and it can occur due to swallowing air during feeding. Please mention whether you started to give solid foods to your child. Noisy breathing during feeding can occur due to a running nose. As she is having nose blockage, she can have a nose block with difficulty in swallowing. Use normal saline nasal drops to keep her nose clean and open. Excess salivation is normal for a healthy baby at this age.
