POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy12 months agoA. Vomiting in an 8-day-old baby, especially one with a history of being in the ICU for vomiting, could be due to several reasons. Some common causes include:
1. **Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER)**: It's common in newborns due to their immature digestive systems, where stomach contents flow back into the esophagus.
2. **Overfeeding**: If the baby is taking in too much milk at once, it can cause vomiting.
3. **Milk Intolerance or Allergy**: Some babies might have a sensitivity to formula or even breast milk, leading to vomiting.
4. **Infection**: If the baby was in the ICU after birth due to vomiting, it might be related to an infection or a condition affecting digestion.
5. **Congenital Issues**: Some structural problems, like **pyloric stenosis** (a narrowing of the stomach opening), can cause vomiting in newborns, although it typically presents a little later than the first week.
Since your baby was already kept in the ICU for vomiting, it's crucial to consult with a pediatrician to determine if the vomiting is part of a larger issue that requires medical attention. They may need to assess for feeding difficulties or other underlying conditions.
