Newborn vomits amniotic fluid

Many mothers, when they meet their babies after giving birth, are told by the midwives that the nurses are cleaning the dirt on the babies' bodies and helping the newborns spit out the amniotic fluid. When mothers hear their baby spitting up amniotic fluid, they will worry whether there was some problem during the birth process and whether it will cause harm to the baby. In fact, it is a very common phenomenon for newborns to vomit amniotic fluid, so mothers should not worry too much.

In fact, amniotic fluid is a colorless, odorless, transparent liquid. The baby already knows how to swallow and spit out amniotic fluid when it is in the mother's belly. Therefore, even if the baby drinks amniotic fluid in the womb, it will naturally vomit it out after the baby is born. Therefore, it is extremely common for the baby to vomit amniotic fluid after birth. In addition, since the amniotic fluid vomited by the newborn is no longer pure amniotic fluid, it has become a mixture. Especially during the delivery process, the baby will also swallow some birth canal secretions, blood, etc. Therefore, the amniotic fluid vomited by the newborn after birth will become a mixed mucus with brown-red blood. Therefore, new parents do not need to worry too much when they see their newborn vomiting brown-red mucus.

Regarding the question of how to make a newborn spit out amniotic fluid quickly, first of all, you need to let the baby sleep on his side as much as possible to help the baby spit out the amniotic fluid and mucus. The vomiting will stop once all the vomit is vomited out. During this process, you should pay attention to observe the baby's vomiting of amniotic fluid at any time, and clean up the vomited dirt in time to avoid the baby's respiratory tract and nose being blocked, making it difficult to breathe. At the same time, you can also feed your baby a small amount of warm water to help the amniotic fluid spit out more smoothly.

Some babies will vomit more severely after delivery due to excessive inhalation of amniotic fluid in the mother's womb or during the delivery process, but generally there is no need to worry. Just pay close attention to changes in the situation and immediately notify the doctor to check if there are any abnormalities to avoid adverse risks.
