Gagging at breast

AlissaLee17

I know that this is typically an issue for moms with an oversupply or a forceful letdown. Does anyone know another reason baby might gag at breast? I have low supply, and a weak letdown (very frustrating to a hungry baby). Sometimes when I get him to latch he gags the first couple of times, but there isn't even any milk flowing yet. I tried searching, but only saw letdown and oversupply explanations.

Hmm..maybe he just has a strong gag reflex? DS was like this and would gag on his own saliva all the time to the point where I thought he was choking. He never did it when just latching though.

My little one gags sometimes because he has tongue tie, which means his tongue doesn't have the mobility to protect his throat and causes gagging
