Is it normal for a newborn to throw up

Vomiting (0-12 Months)

Is this your child's symptom?

Vomiting (throwing up) stomach contents
Other names for vomiting are puking, barfing and heaving

Causes of Vomiting

Viral Gastritis. Stomach infection from a stomach virus is the most common cause. Also called stomach flu. A common cause is the Rotavirus. The illness starts with vomiting. Watery loose stools may follow within 12-24 hours.
Food Allergy. Vomiting can be the only symptom of a food reaction. The vomiting comes on quickly after eating the food. Uncommon in infants, but main foods are eggs and peanut butter.
Coughing. Hard coughing can also cause your child to throw up. This is more common in children with reflux.
Serious Causes. Vomiting alone should stop within about 24 hours. If it lasts over 24 hours, you must think about more serious causes. An example is a kidney infection. A serious cause in young babies is pyloric stenosis. See below for more on this.

Pyloric Stenosis (Serious Cause)

The most common cause of true vomiting in young babies.
Onset of vomiting is age 2 weeks to 2 months
Vomiting is forceful. It becomes projectile and shoots out.
Right after vomiting, the baby is hungry and wants to feed. ("hungry vomiter")
Cause: The pylorus is the channel between the stomach and the gut. In these babies, it becomes narrow and tight.
Risk: Weight loss or dehydration
Treatment: Cured by surgery.

Vomiting Scale

Mild: 1 - 2 times/day
Moderate: 3 - 7 times/day
Severe: Vomits everything, nearly everything or 8 or more times/day
Severity relates even more to how long the vomiting goes on for. At the start of the illness, it's common for a child to vomit everything. This can last for 3 or 4 hours. Children then often become stable and change to mild vomiting.
The main risk of vomiting is dehydration. Dehydration means the body has lost too much fluid.
The younger the child, the greater the risk for dehydration.

Dehydration: How to Tell

The main risk of vomiting is dehydration. Dehydration means the body has lost too much water.
Vomiting with watery diarrhea is the most common cause of dehydration.
Dehydration is a reason to see a doctor right away.
Your child may have dehydration if not drinking much fluid and:
The urine is dark yellow and has not passed any in over 8 hours.
Inside of the mouth and tongue are very dry.
No tears if your child cries.
Slow blood refill test: Longer than 2 seconds. First, press on the thumbnail and make it pale. Then let go. Count the seconds it takes for the nail to turn pink again. Ask your doctor to teach you how to do this test.

Care Advice for Vomiting

What You Should Know About Vomiting:
- Most vomiting is caused by a viral infection of the stomach.
- Vomiting is the body's way of protecting the lower gut.
- The good news is that stomach illnesses last only a short time.
- The main risk of vomiting is dehydration. Dehydration means the body has lost too much fluid.
- Here is some care advice that should help.
Formula Fed Babies - May Give Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) for 8 Hours:
- If vomits once, give half the regular amount of formula every 1 to 2 hours.
- If vomits formula more than once, offer ORS for 8 hours. If you don't have ORS, use formula until you can get some.
- ORS is a special fluid that can help your child stay hydrated. You can use Pedialyte or the store brand of ORS. It can be bought in food stores or drug stores.
- Spoon or syringe feed small amounts. Give 1-2 teaspoons (5-10 mL) every 5 minutes.
- After 4 hours without throwing up, double the amount.
- Return to Formula. After 8 hours without throwing up, go back to regular formula.
Breastfed Babies - Reduce the Amount Per Feeding:
- If vomits once, nurse half the regular time every 1 to 2 hours.
- If vomits more than once, nurse for 5 minutes every 30 to 60 minutes. After 4 hours without throwing up, return to regular nursing.
- If continues to vomit, switch to pumped breastmilk. (ORS is rarely needed in breastfed babies. It can be used if vomiting becomes worse).
- Spoon or syringe feed small amounts of pumped milk. Give 1-2 teaspoons (5-10 mL) every 5 minutes.
- After 4 hours without throwing up, return to regular feeding at the breast. Start with small feedings of 5 minutes every 30 minutes. As your baby keeps down the smaller amounts, slowly give more.
Pumped Breastmilk Bottle-Fed Infants - Reduce the Amount per Feeding:
- If vomits once and bottle-feeding breastmilk, give half the regular amount every 1-2 hours.
- If vomits more than once within last 2 hours, give 1 ounce (30 mL) every 30 to 60 minutes.
- If continues to vomit, give 1-2 teaspoons (5-10 mL) every 5 minutes. Only if not tolerating breastmilk, switch to ORS (e.g., Pedialyte) for every 5 minutes for a few hours.
- After 4 hours without vomiting, return to regular feedings. Start with 1 ounce (30 mL) every 30 minutes and slowly increase as tolerated.
Stop All Solid Foods:
- Avoid all solid foods and baby foods in kids who are vomiting.
- After 8 hours without throwing up, gradually add them back.
- If on solid foods, start with starchy foods that are easy to digest. Examples are cereals, crackers and bread.
Do Not Give Medicines:
- Stop using any drug that is over-the-counter for 8 hours. Reason: Some of these can make vomiting worse.
- Fever. Mild fevers don't need to be treated with any drugs. For higher fevers, you can use an acetaminophen suppository (such as FeverAll). This is a form of the drug you put in the rectum (bottom). Ask a pharmacist for help finding this product. Do not use ibuprofen. It can upset the stomach.
- Call your doctor if: Your child vomits a drug ordered by your doctor.
Try to Sleep:
- Help your child go to sleep for a few hours.
- Reason: Sleep often empties the stomach and removes the need to vomit.
- Your child doesn't have to drink anything if his stomach feels upset and he doesn't have any diarrhea.
Return to Child Care:
- Your child can return to child care after the vomiting and fever are gone.
What to Expect:
- For the first 3 or 4 hours, your child may vomit everything. Then the stomach settles down.

Infant Vomiting - HealthyChildren.org

My baby vomits a lot. Is this a sign of a problem?

Because many common childhood illnesses can cause vomiting, you should expect your child to have this problem several times during these early years. Usually it ends quickly without treatment, but this doesn’t make it any easier for you to watch. That feeling of helplessness combined with the fear that something serious might be wrong and the desire to do something to make it better may make you tense and anxious. To help put your mind at ease, learn as much as you can about the causes of vomiting and what you can do to treat your child when it occurs.

Vomiting vs Spitting Up

First of all, there’s a difference between real vomiting and just spitting up. Vomiting is the forceful throwing up of stomach contents through the mouth. Spitting up (most commonly seen in infants under one year of age) is the easy flow of stomach contents out of the mouth, frequently with a burp.

Vomiting occurs when the abdominal muscles and diaphragm contract vigorously while the stomach is relaxed. This reflex action is triggered by the “vomiting center” in the brain after it has been stimulated by:

Nerves from the stomach and intestine when the gastrointestinal tract is either irritated or swollen by an infection or blockage
Chemicals in the blood (e.g., drugs)
Psychological stimuli from disturbing sights or smells
Stimuli from the middle ear (as in vomiting caused by motion sickness)

Causes of Vomiting

The common causes of spitting up or vomiting vary according to age. During the first few months, for instance, most infants will spit up small amounts of formula or breastmilk, usually within the first hour after being fed. This “cheesing,” as it is often called, is simply the occasional movement of food from the stomach, through the tube (esophagus) leading to it, and out of the mouth. It will occur less often if a child is burped frequently and if active play is limited right after meals. This spitting up tends to decrease as the baby becomes older, but may persist in a mild form until ten to twelve months of age. Spitting up is not serious and doesn’t interfere with normal weight gain.

Occasional vomiting may occur during the first month. If it appears repeatedly or is unusually forceful, call your pediatrician. It may be just a mild feeding difficulty, but it also could be a sign of something more serious.

Persistent Vomiting

Between two weeks and four months of age, persistent forceful vomiting may be caused by a thickening of the muscle at the stomach exit. Known as hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, this thickening prevents food from passing into the intestines. It requires immediate medical attention. Surgery usually is required to open the narrowed area. The important sign of this condition is forceful vomiting occurring approximately fifteen to thirty minutes or less after every feeding. Anytime you notice this, call your pediatrician as soon as possible.

GERD

Occasionally the spitting up in the first few weeks to months of life gets worse instead of better—that is, even though it’s not forceful, it occurs all the time. This happens when the muscles at the lower end of the esophagus become overly relaxed and allow the stomach contents to back up. This condition is known as gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. This condition usually can be controlled by doing the following:

Thicken the milk with small amounts of baby cereal as directed by your pediatrician.
Avoid overfeeding or give smaller feeds more frequently.
Burp the baby frequently.
Leave the infant in a safe, quiet, upright position for at least thirty minutes following feeding.

If these steps are not successful, your pediatrician may refer you to a gastrointestinal (GI) specialist.

Infection

After the first few months of life, the most common cause of vomiting is a stomach or intestinal infection. Viruses are by far the most frequent infecting agents, but occasionally bacteria and even parasites may be the cause. The infection also may produce fever, diarrhea, and sometimes nausea and abdominal pain. The infection is usually contagious; if your child has it, chances are good that some of her playmates also will be affected.

Rotaviruses are a leading cause of vomiting in infants and young children, with symptoms often progressing to diarrhea and fever. These viruses are very contagious, but are becoming less common than in the past, due to the availability of a vaccine that can prevent the disease. The rotavirus is one of the viral causes of gastroenteritis, but other types of viruses—such as noroviruses, enteroviruses, and adenoviruses—can cause it as well.

Occasionally infections outside the gastrointestinal tract will cause vomiting. These include infections of the respiratory system, infections of the urinary tract otitis media, meningitis , and appendicitis. Some of these conditions require immediate medical treatment, so be alert for the following trouble signs, whatever your child’s age, and call your pediatrician if they occur.

Blood or bile (a green-colored material) in the vomit
Severe abdominal pain
Strenuous, repeated vomiting
Swollen or enlarged abdomen
Lethargy or severe irritability
Convulsions
Signs or symptoms of dehydration, including dry mouth, absent tears, depression of the "soft spot", and decreased urination
Inability to drink adequate amounts of fluid
Vomiting continuing beyond twenty-four hours

Regurgitation and vomiting in children

Regurgitation syndrome is one of the most common reasons for parents of young children to visit a pediatrician and a surgeon. The causes of regurgitation in children under 1 year old are different: anatomical and functional features, neurological disorders, infectious processes, malformations or other problems. The mechanism that prevents regurgitation and vomiting in children is very complex and depends on the anatomical structure and physiological processes of the child. The formation of this mechanism occurs in the last trimester of pregnancy and continues in the first months of a child's life. Although regurgitation and vomiting can be a symptom of various diseases, in themselves these processes are physiological, i.e. normal. The pathological reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus is called gastroesophageal reflux, and the mechanism that prevents vomiting is called the antireflux mechanism. nine0003

Anti-reflux mechanism in children

In children, the nervous regulation of the antireflux mechanism is very complex and easily disturbed under the influence of external and internal factors. Regurgitation and vomiting easily occur in children with an immature antireflux mechanism, if the mode or volume of feeding is incorrectly selected, as a reaction to artificial mixtures, at the slightest sign of infectious processes. This is especially often observed in children with intrauterine growth retardation and premature babies, as well as in severe pregnancy and toxicosis, caesarean section, complicated childbirth, etc. nine0003

When to see a doctor

Despite the fact that moderate spitting up in a child under 6 months is considered a variant of the norm, parents should definitely tell the pediatrician about this during a routine examination. The reason for serious concern and immediate examination of the child is an increase in the frequency or increase in the volume of regurgitation, the appearance of streaks of blood or bile impurities, a lag in recruitment or weight loss, and high temperature. In this case, it is urgent to consult a surgeon to rule out surgical causes. nine0003

Diagnostics

In most cases, an ultrasound examination (ultrasound) is necessary to establish an accurate diagnosis and select the correct treatment. An experienced doctor of ultrasound diagnostics helps to establish the correct diagnosis in more than half of the cases. Sometimes, for a more accurate diagnosis, a flexible gastroscopy, X-ray examination, or computed tomography of the abdominal organs is performed.

When surgery is required

Pyloric stenosis, or impaired patency of the gastric outlet, is the cause of the most severe regurgitation syndrome (vomiting "fountain") in children under 2 months, accompanied by severe weight loss and progressive deterioration of the child's condition. This disease requires urgent surgical care. In leading clinics, such operations are performed using a minimally invasive laparoscopic method. The current level of development of surgery and pediatric anesthesiology allows the use of endoscopic surgery techniques even in children in the first weeks of life. nine0003

There are also other causes of regurgitation that require surgical intervention, such as hiatal hernia, chalazia (gaping) of the esophagus, and others. These malformations are characterized by a violation of the formation of the antireflux mechanism and lead to constant regurgitation in a child, impaired weight gain, decreased appetite, chronic cough, bronchial asthma, and anemia. If drug therapy is ineffective, then a gastrofundoplication operation is indicated, in which an artificial antireflux valve is surgically formed. Like many other interventions, in modern children's clinics this operation is performed laparoscopically - with less trauma, minimal blood loss, minimal cosmetic defect and a quick recovery of the child after the operation. nine0003

Of course, vomiting and regurgitation can be symptoms of many other diseases and occur at any age of the child. Thus, vomiting is often observed in acute appendicitis and intestinal obstruction, it can be a symptom of an intestinal infection, intoxication, etc. In addition to the disease itself, vomiting and profuse regurgitation are dangerous because the child loses a large amount of water and salts necessary for life, which can lead to dehydration - exsicosis. The younger the child, the faster the disruption of compensatory mechanisms and the worsening of his condition. Therefore, the appearance in a child of symptoms of vomiting or severe regurgitation in young children requires immediate medical attention to identify the causes, establish the correct diagnosis and select the optimal treatment, and, if necessary, surgical. nine0003

Experienced pediatricians and surgeons are on duty around the clock at the EMC Children's Clinic, providing emergency and planned care to children of all ages, starting from the first days of life.

If surgical treatment is required, the method of choice in our clinic is minimally invasive endoscopic surgery, which in most cases allows the child to go home on the day of the operation. The operation is accompanied by an experienced anesthesiologist, who individually selects modern and safe anesthesia for each child. Postoperative wards are equipped with high-tech equipment, where round-the-clock monitoring systems are installed, and a separate nurse continuously monitors the condition of small patients. nine0003

In the comfortable hospital of the EMC Children's Clinic, parents can stay with their child all the time, round-the-clock visits are open for relatives and friends, which ensures maximum comfort for the child and parents.

A newborn vomited up - what to do, causes and how to help

The urge to vomit in a newborn is an alarming symptom that should not be ignored. They may be the result of accidental ingestion of a small object by a baby, intoxication, acute appendicitis, intestinal obstruction, or other diseases. The most harmless reason that a child vomited is overeating. nine0003

Physiological causes of vomiting

Sometimes vomiting is a short-term phenomenon that is not associated with pathology or disease. What could be the reasons that a healthy newborn vomited:

overeating - the baby ate too much breast milk or formula;
the baby is teething, and vomiting is a sign of temporary malaise;
child swallows air while feeding;

active play and activity immediately after eating.

If the baby feels well, you need to help him calm down and give him a drink of warm boiled water. Put the baby to sleep on the side. The baby will relax, the contents of the stomach will move into the intestines, and vomiting attacks will not recur. Try not to bathe the baby, do not shake immediately after eating. Keep track of the amount of food he gets to avoid overeating. nine0003

The introduction of a new mixture can also cause vomiting. Check with your pediatrician to make sure there are no other causes. Your doctor can help you find other foods that are right for your child.

Sometimes babies feel sick after crying for a long time, for example, the mother left, and the baby is very bored or hungry. If there are no other alarming symptoms, calm the baby as soon as possible, shake, feed, sing a gentle song. If vomiting recurs later, you need to call the pediatrician. nine0003

Symptoms and possible causes of vomiting

Most often, vomiting is a signal of diseases that can be identified by additional symptoms.

Poisoning or intestinal infections

The symptoms of poisoning and intestinal infection are very similar: the newborn is sick, his stool changes, his tummy hurts and his temperature rises. The child should be given constant water to drink so that dehydration does not occur. In any of these conditions, you need to urgently call a doctor. nine0003

Concussion

Babies are very mobile, if a child hits his head or falls, you need to urgently call an ambulance. A concussion is accompanied by vomiting, crying, temporary loss of consciousness, pallor, drowsiness, and impaired coordination of movements.

Foreign body

Swallowing a small object can also cause vomiting without vomiting in neonates. The baby may begin to salivate profusely, have breathing problems, he may vomit with mucus and blood in the vomit. If you suspect that the baby has swallowed any object, call an ambulance. nine0003

Appendicitis

This phenomenon is rare in newborns. If appendicitis is inflamed, the baby has a very sore tummy, when stroking or probing, the pain and crying intensify. There is nausea, weakness, restless behavior. Inflammation of appendicitis in infants is life-threatening, you need to urgently call an ambulance.

Allergic reaction, food intolerance

If a child has an intolerance to certain foods or an allergy to them, vomiting is accompanied by diarrhea, skin rashes, the baby is capricious, restless. With such symptoms, you need to contact a pediatrician and an allergist. nine0003

Acute infections

SARS, pyelonephritis, pneumonia can provoke a gag reflex without vomiting in a newborn from severe coughing spells and general weakness. With a high temperature, sore throat, cough, you need to call a pediatrician at home to examine the child and prescribe appropriate treatment.

Intestinal obstruction

This is a dangerous disease. It can be congenital or acquired. Accompanied by severe bloating, bile impurities are observed in vomiting. The baby cries a lot, the stool changes to a state of red jelly. Feeding is stopped and urgently seek medical help - the disease is life-threatening. nine0003

Congenital pathologies of the digestive system

Congenital pathologies lead to serious problems with digestion. If you notice that the child is restless during feeding, his stool is broken, his tummy is swollen, he is gaining weight poorly or losing it, consult a doctor. It is necessary to undergo an examination of the gastrointestinal tract and pass additional tests.

Neurological disorders

The main causes of gag reflex without vomiting in the newborn are neurological disorders. They occur most often in premature babies, in children with underweight. The cause of such disorders may be birth trauma, asphyxia or fetal hypoxia. With such pathologies, gag reflexes are accompanied by hyperactivity, chin tremor, strabismus, convulsions. You need to contact a neurologist and undergo inpatient treatment. nine0003

Heat stroke

Heat stroke is accompanied by nausea, skin redness, dizziness, rapid breathing. Also, the child develops lethargy, dry skin. Call the doctors, before they arrive, put the child in a cool place on the barrel.

How to distinguish vomiting from regurgitation

Regurgitation is a natural process. The baby spits up a few minutes after feeding. It is not dangerous, it is a normal physiological process. If the baby gets a large amount of air into the tummy (swallowed while eating), then after regurgitation the discomfort disappears, he immediately feels better. nine0003

Vomiting is the result of reflex contraction of the muscles of the abdominal cavity and diaphragm, it is accompanied by rapid breathing, profuse salivation.

The main differences between vomiting and regurgitation:

Why vomiting is dangerous

Vomiting is a protective reflex of the body. So he gets rid of foreign bodies, removes toxins, microorganisms, excess food. Most often, vomiting is a symptom of diseases that are dangerous for the baby:

Vomiting itself is dangerous due to possible dehydration. The baby loses not only the liquid, but also the mineral salts dissolved in it. The water-salt balance is disturbed, this affects the general condition of the crumbs. For newborns, this is especially dangerous, because dehydration occurs rapidly, and replenishing a full supply of fluid is not so easy. nine0038
The second danger of vomiting is the inhalation of vomit. During an attack, the baby should be held upright, for safety reasons, you need to ensure that the baby's head lies on its side in a dream.
Weight loss due to food rejection is also dangerous. This is especially important for premature babies or babies with a small body weight.

If the baby has vomited, carefully monitor his condition and well-being. Make sure it's not spitting up. If in doubt, it is better to call a doctor anyway, rather than wait for more serious symptoms. nine0003

When to call a doctor

It is always better to play it safe and call a doctor if you are not sure about your baby's health. In which cases it is necessary to seek medical help:

the baby is vomiting, but he did not poop;
the child is crying, restless, his stomach hurts;
repeated vomiting;
symptoms of dehydration appear;
vomiting accompanied by diarrhoea; nine0038
vomiting is a fountain;
the child fell or hit his head hard before vomiting;
in the vomit there is blood, brown or black inclusions;
the child does not eat or drink;
everything that the child ate and drank comes out with vomiting;
he has a high temperature;
the baby is lethargic, sleepy.

Treatment

Vomiting in children may require enterosorbent. It is believed that this tool binds and removes from the body toxic metabolites, allergens, bacteria, viruses and other harmful compounds that can provoke vomiting. nine0003

For the smallest, that is, children under two years old, when choosing an enterosorbent to alleviate the conditions that caused vomiting, you can be guided by the statement of ANSM (France). So, in March 2019, this French regulator published information that raw materials for the production of clay-based powder enterosorbents may contain lead. This harmful substance can penetrate into the bloodstream and in certain concentrations have a depressing effect on the development of the baby.

The Russian Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ROAG) designated the Russian "Enterosgel" as the first choice for the treatment of conditions requiring the use of an enterosorbent in young children, pregnant and lactating women. "Enterosgel" is a molecular sponge that is not absorbed into the blood and works only in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract. A homogeneous gel-like form with a neutral smell and taste simplifies the use of "Enterosgel" even for the smallest. It is important that "Enterosgel" promotes the healing of microtraumas on the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract and minimizes the risk of constipation during use due to the formula saturated with water. nine0003

The main danger of vomiting is dehydration. It is urgent to call a doctor so that he establishes the cause of vomiting and prescribes the appropriate treatment. Also, the doctor prescribes electrolyte solutions, which need to replenish the fluid lost by the body.

What to do while waiting for the doctor

make sure that the child is in an upright position;
after each bout of vomiting, wash the child, clean his mouth and nose;
try not to disturb the child unnecessarily, do not carry him from place to place;
it is possible to feed milk or a mixture familiar to the baby if there are no other dangerous symptoms;
try to give the baby some water to drink;
do not give any medication until the doctor arrives;
do not give the newborn prebiotics, probiotics, zinc, enterosorbents, antidiarrheal drugs (if diarrhea has joined) - the doctor should prescribe treatment, it is dangerous to experiment in the treatment of such a small child. nine0046

What to give your baby to drink

Give your baby plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. It is best to put the baby to the breast more often. If the doctor has already suggested which pharmacy solutions of electrolytes can be used, use them. If there are no such appointments, you can make the solution yourself. How to cook:

take 1 liter of boiled water;
add 1 level teaspoon of salt;
4-5 level teaspoons of sugar. nine0046

Mix everything thoroughly, store in the refrigerator for no more than a day. Give your child a few milliliters every five to ten minutes. To do this, take a syringe, remove it from it and put the tip with a needle away and gently squeeze the liquid into the baby's mouth with such a harmless piston.
