Question
What could be the cause of newborn vomiting with blood threads? The baby was only given a small amount of soy milk and breast milk in the morning, and no discomfort was shown. How should it be handled?
Answer
Based on the description, first check if there are any injuries on the mother’s nipple. Sometimes nipple cracking can cause the baby to ingest blood while breastfeeding, which is then expelled during vomiting. Another possibility is that the baby’s oral mucosa is damaged and bleeding. These situations are usually not severe, and it is recommended to continue monitoring. If vomiting persists and is accompanied by more blood threads, it is advisable to visit a local hospital pediatric department for further examination.
