A baby dies of asphyxiation after his mother breastfed him in Mexico

In a tragic incident in Ticul, Yucatán (Mexico), a newborn baby tragically passed away just hours after being breastfed by her mother. This heartbreaking incident took place in the San Joaquín neighborhood, where the mother and daughter resided with other family members. As per the report from Diario de Yucatán, the mother had put her daughter to bed and went to the kitchen to prepare food when she noticed that the baby was experiencing difficulty in breathing.

Upon returning to the room, the mother discovered that the baby’s body had turned purple and she had stopped breathing. Realizing the severity of the situation, the mother immediately alerted other family members, and the baby was promptly rushed to the local maternal and child community hospital. Despite the doctors’ efforts to resuscitate her, the two-month-old baby girl tragically lost her life.

At present, the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) is conducting an investigation into the possible causes of the baby’s asphyxiation. One of the potential causes being considered includes the possibility of the baby experiencing reflux.
