Question
Does it matter if a 24-day-old baby falls asleep immediately after vomiting a lot?
Answer
After a 24-day-old baby vomits a lot, it falls asleep immediately. After feeding 50ml of formula milk and changing the diaper, the child still feels uncomfortable, thinking they haven’t eaten enough, and when fed again, they vomit. After vomiting, the baby falls asleep immediately. The temperature is 36.7°C, and there are two mild coughs as usual. For a 24-day-old newborn with mild coughing, it’s important to be cautious about aspiration or vomiting causing coughing in the throat again. Pay close attention to whether there is any foam coming out of the mouth. The baby’s body temperature is normal, and they feed well with 50ml of formula milk each time. It is suggested to feed a very small amount of formula milk. If the baby can sleep quietly for a long time after feeding, and their growth and development are normal, as well as their bowel movements, there is no disease, which indicates that the baby is full. If the baby refuses milk or has reduced appetite with a drop in body temperature or no increase in body temperature, coughing, aspiration, or spitting foam from the mouth are all symptoms of aspiration pneumonia. Therefore, caution is advised.
