Hello!
Choking and gagging are very scary symptoms in a little baby. It sounds like he is ok now. Was this something that happened one time or does this happen over and over? If it happened one time, it might be related to having a full tummy and being reclined or on his back. He may have had a bit of the milk and acid come up and it irritated his throat and caused him to gag. If he does this again, be sure to hold him upright and pat his back. Watch his breathing until he is feeling better. If he has trouble breathing, call 911 right away.
Babies will occasionally gag or choke. If he does this more than once or if he struggles to clear his throat, be sure to talk to the doctor about this situation.
