Question
Why does a newborn vomit dark red fluid?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby had amniotic fluid contamination at birth and is now vomiting dark red fluid. Possible causes for this recurrence include nipple cracking in the mother, blood material swallowed by the baby; it is not possible to rule out gastrointestinal bleeding in the baby; and if feeding was insufficient after birth, it cannot be excluded that the baby has swallowing syndrome, which is swallowing contaminated amniotic fluid.
