Can Consumption Of NAN Cause Side Effects Like Chesty And Heavy Breath?
Hi There, I have a 1wk old baby and am feeding him Nan as he isn t taking to the breast at all. He seems to be very chesty and breathes heavily. He seems to like choke on the Nan as of this morning. He seems to now be getting a fever of some sort. Nan made me sick and chesty when I was little. Is Nan the cause of this? If not please help me shed some light on this!

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
NAN is not directly responsible for his symptoms.
Babies usually regurgitate some amount of feed till 4-5 months.
Sometimes it is aspirated into to the trachea and cause these symptoms.
Consult your pediatrician who may advise you feeding small babies.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
