How to avoid milk cravings?
To prevent your baby from aspirating milk, keep your baby in an upright position after and during feedings. This will allow the milk to reach the esophagus and not enter the respiratory tract. If the baby drinks milk from a bottle, then feed him with a nipple from which the milk comes with less flow. Make sure to burp the baby after feeding.
