Throwing up blood
by: Baby Help Line (Paula)

Hi Christina,

A baby can sometimes throw up and it is tinged with blood from a nose bleed or from teething. But if you can't explain the blood or it is more abundant that a few drops, you should call the doctor. If there is a lot of blood in the vomit or if it is dark brown, like coffee grounds, the advice is to take your baby to the emergency room. Try to collect a sample of the vomit and bring along to the ER or doctor.

Actually, unless you can be sure that the blood derives from the mouth, at least call your baby's doctor for advice.

I hope it is not serious and you get it sorted out quickly.

Warm regards,

Paula

Hello,

It is normal for a baby to throw up a TINY amount of blood, the force of vomiting can create tears in the little blood vessels lining the esophagus. Another cause may be a cut in the baby's mouth or that he or she swallowed blood after a nose bleed. You should definitely call your doctor to make sure the amount of blood isn't high enough to be worried about. Tell your doctor about how much your baby is throwing up and how much of it is blood, to make this easy I would say "My baby is throwing up enough to saturate her whole bib and about a quarter of it is blood" If the amount of blood in your baby's vomit is increasing or if like Paula stated the vomit is coffee ground colored you should go to the E.R. immediately.

Good Luck and Take Care,

Brandi
