We study theoretically and experimentally the dependence of the electron-phonon interaction in Na$_x$CoO$_2$ on the sodium concentration $x$. For the two oxygen phonon modes found in Raman experiments, $A_{1g}$ and $E_{1g}$, we calculate the matrix elements of the electron-phonon interaction. Analyzing the feedback effect of the conduction electrons on the phonon frequency we compare the calculated and experimentally observed doping dependence of the $A_{1g}$ mode. Furthermore, due to the momentum dependence of the electron-phonon coupling for the $E_{1g}$ symmetry we find no renormalization of the corresponding phonon frequency which agrees with experiment. Our results shed light on the possible importance of the electron-phonon interaction in this system.
