Question
What should I do if a newborn vomits blood after breastfeeding?
Answer
First, check if the mother’s nipple is cracked, to rule out the possibility of nipple erosion causing bleeding. If this cause is excluded, it may be due to repeated vomiting causing damage to the esophageal mucosa and bleeding. Treatment can only be initiated after further diagnosis of the cause. Wishing you and your baby good health.
