This condition stimulates the gastric mucosa, causing excessive secretion of gastric acid and mucus. Most newborns with aspiration syndrome have a history of difficult labor, asphyxia, or prolonged delivery. They usually start vomiting before breastfeeding and are in good overall condition with normal meconium excretion and no obvious abdominal symptoms. Vomiting typically stops 1 to 2 days after swallowing the foreign object.
