Vomiting Yellow Mucus

by Andrea Jackson

What could be the possible cause for my 6 months old baby to be vomiting more than once within a few hours, clear to yellow mucus?

I am worried that she is sick.

A cold can make babies throw up mucus
by: Baby Help Line - Paula

Hi Andrea,

In my experience, the most common reason why a baby vomits mucus is because of a cold. When the baby has a speed up nose and a lot of mucus from a cold, they tend to swallow it. And then, especially if the mucus is thick, many babies throw it up. It can happen while coughing and other times too. Babies tend to throw up more easily than adults.

Some babies also vomit more easily than others. Does your baby spit up a lot? If she does, then it probably doesn't take too much mucus for her to start throwing it up.

Does that make sense for your baby?

My baby vomits clear mucus too
by: Ciottina

my 7 month old baby vomits clear mucus too.
it happened a couple of times already, but last time it was a lot , I got scared and brought him to the doctor, but they couldn't tell me any precise reason, since he had a runny nose, they think he might be swallowing mucus, but that the stomach produces mucus too.....so maybe the virus went from the nose into his stomach.....I really don't know what to think, I had given him antihistamin for runny nose and though that would dry mucus in his body, but obviously it didn't...I wonder if it happens again if I should go to an ear, throat specialist or gastroenterologyst.......

My baby brother had the same thing except at 8 months. Take him to the emergency room if you think it is a stomach flu. Is he eating? If not so take him to the emergency room as soon as possible! You don't want a small baby to get dehydrated.
