Question
A 28-day-old newborn has been vomiting for the past few days, with vomiting occurring after each feeding and burping. Sometimes, the baby vomits immediately after eating, and sometimes even after falling asleep. The baby also occasionally coughs a few times, and recently has been spitting up saliva with bubbles.
Answer
The newborn is 28 days old and has been vomiting for the past two days. If the baby has been vomiting since birth, it may be a normal phenomenon. Newborns have a unique stomach structure with a shallow upper opening, which can easily cause vomiting. Now, with the appearance of bubbles and coughing, it may be due to a slow respiratory rate caused by catching a cold, and it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately.
