Especially after eating she gets alot of mucus in her throat, when she sneezes some comes out of her nose, I try to succion it but she HATES it and sniffs it back in, I cant call my doctor now since the office opens in an hour, is this normal in babies? SOmetimes she coughs to relieve herself from the excess mucus.. Otherwise she is a very happy baby girgling all the time and smiling very much no signs of fever at all..
Last doctor visit 2 weeks ago she was fine and the doctor said not to worry about the coughing that its normal from time to time to check for fever but she doesnt have any..
Is it normal for babies to have mucus

Everybody has mucus in their throat. It's how your body protects the soft tissue of your digestive system from damage.

Pooor Baby :( That can't be fun for her. Have you ever tried succioning it out of her throat? She's going to hate it but it works. I did that with my daughter. I am a smoker...I know I know don't tell me....but anyway, I don't smoke around my kids but they can smell it on my clothes and that gave her some extra mucus. I would hold her down and succion out her nose then I would put the sucker towards the back of her throat and get some out that way too. Then she wasn't so upset. I admit.. she did hate it but she felt so much better afterwards.
