Patient's question:
The milk the child just vomited contains something like blood streaks. What's going on? I gave him a small spoonful of soy milk early this morning, then he had milk, and he didn't eat anything else. What should I do! The child isn't crying or fussing?Doctor's answer:
According to the patient's description, the first point is to check whether the patient's nipple is fractured. Sometimes, when the nipple is cracked, the baby may bleed while breastfeeding. When the breast vomits, blood will be expelled along with the breast vomit. Another possibility is that the child's oral mucosa is damaged and bleeding. These issues are not serious. It is recommended to wait and see. If there is still vomiting, blood in the milk, and the amount is relatively large, it is advisable to seek further medical evaluation at the local hospital's pediatric department.
