#asktheexpert Hello Dr.. sometimes in the very early morning time my baby wakes up suddenly cries loudly and and not able to breathe and spits (or have) jelly kind of saliva from mouth.....what will be the reason for this... he is 7 weeks old

A. In the early days after the birth, many babies will vomit up mucous from their stomach. This is mostly the remnants of the amniotic fluid that was swallowed in the womb, mixed with mucous produced by the lining of the baby's stomach, in preparation for absorbing milk feeds.
