Any experiences with newborns throwing up after feeding and it coming thru nasal passages and choking baby?

You need to take the baby to the pediatrician. She could have a number of problems from pyloric stenosis to atresia or fistula of her trachea and esophagus. I can't help you anymore without knowing how often the baby does this, what color the food is after coming back out, and some other questions.

Some say that formula can be hard for some babies to digest.  We used Hergenberger Goat's Milk instead with great results.  It comes in a powder from Whole Foods in our area.  We would make the milk regular strength and then dilute it by half (50% warm water, 50% full strength goats milk)for new born and then 25%/75% at about a year and full strength at about 2 years.\n\nI understand that when it is hard to digest, the baby's system wants to shut down and sleep (like adults after eating too much) and that could be why he won't stay awake long enough to eat more.  \n\nAlso the Goat's Milk has no aluminum in it as some formulas do - like many processed, powerdery foods do to keep it from clumping.

I believe this is natures way to get fresh air into the baby's lungs.  Also why doctors have been known to "spank the baby" to get it to cry.  Obviously, the baby has been drinking, eating, and "breathing" through the umbilical cord for the past 9 months and a breath of fresh air is just about the best thing for him/her.

make sure you get alot of sleep and drink alot of water. I had my tonsils out when i was 4 so yea... well anyways, afterwards, make sure you only eat soft foods and drink only water and when you throw up, it is a good sign dont worries\ngood luck

Sometimes.  I usually drink water out of a straw or a glass with a paper towel over top. The sucking disrupts the contractions of your diaphragm.

Try another doc, if this has continued for a year and the first doc didn't give you a specific reason for the vomiting, I would seek a second opinion!

I just wanted to say that coughing will probably make this worse because it will be forcing the Cheerio further into your nasal passage, which gets progressively smaller. You want it to go to your throat, which gets larger. I would suggest trying to breathe in as hard as you can through your nose, and if you can understand this (very hard to explain), try to create the vacuum in your chest like you do when you breathe, but don't let the air in your nose, and then suddenly let the air in, to get some pressure. Hope that helps. If not, I think the other person was right, the cheerio will get soggy and go down by itself eventually. Or you could go to the doctor, no biggie. My friend accidentally snorted a gummy bear one time.

Up to a year, most of the nutrition should be from ideally breastmilk or at least formula.  I wouldn't worry too much for now.  You might try other types of food, but I would stick to the essentials (Gerber stage 3 equivalent if there are a couple of teeth or so.\n\nIf it occurs for too long, talk to your pediatrician about it at the next regular visit.\n\nIf there is any weight loss or any serious concern, go sooner.\n\nGood luck!

drinking some sprite and eating a few crackers always seems to help me.  I have heard that sucking on a fresh cut lemon helps some also (i've never tried that one).  What really really works well....is if you have a family doctor, try to get him/her to call you out a prescription for "phenergen"...it's an anti-nausea medication and if you're vomiting to the point you can't hold anything down...it also comes in suppository form...good luck!

Sounds like an old wives tale to me.  I'd never heard such a thing until this post and I fed my children watermelon (when they were old enough to have solid food, anyway).\n\nEdited to add: I see some people are saying that it's because they could choke on the seeds.  No offense intended to anyone, but it's sort of a "no duh!" situation - if someone's handing their *infant* watermelon without having taken the seeds out then, well, someone needs parenting lessons!

its hard since your baby is just 9 months old.i would apply lots of vaporrub on the chest and put on the humidifier that would help with the congestion.i dont believe in modern medicine for cold since none have proven to cure a virus.so the best is the above and another thing is saline drops for immediate relief(my dau never liked this)but it does the job.it takes usually a week or more for cold to go but i know its hard and common at this time of the year.All the best!!

First of all make sure that he really is refluxing.  A swallow study or OPCG (a type of sleep study done overnight in a hospital) could do quite a bit toward getting a proper diagnosis.  If he is refluxing, thickening his feeds could help.  The Enfamil AR has added rice starch that thickens in his tummy, the idea being that it is harder to reflux up thicker fluids.  A soy or hypoallergenic formula could help.  I also know of mothers who swear by Enfamil Gentlease which has partially broken down proteins.  Please discuss with your pediatrician before changing formula.  The pediatrician might have samples available so that you could try several feeds without having to buy a whole large container.  Feeds are usually thickened with 1 tbsp rice cereal to 2 oz of formula.  Make sure you are using the Dr. Brown's Y-cut nipple so that your little one can get formula out! Keep him sitting upright (in a car seat or punkin seat) for 30 minutes to 1 hour after each feed.   Lastly is your baby having plenty of wet diapers?  A condition called pyloric stenosis can develop where the muscle at the end of the stomach becomes too tight and food can't leave the stomach into the intestine.  Babies with pyloric stenosis have projectile vomiting and usually dehydration from the frequent vomiting.  The condition is cured with a simple surgery.  I hope that you find something that will help.  Best wishes.

The high sugar content inhibits bacterial growth, and it hasn't had time to ferment enough to create appreciable alcohol content. Your daughter is most likely fine, but it's something I'd try to avoid. If she starts vomiting, that's when to worry a little bit - but I doubt this will happen.

just drin kfluids and go to your doctar maybe its just not a cold maybeits a n infection.\nheres some info i got online read it its interesting \n\n\n\nincrease air moisture \npetroleum jelly on the skin under the nose to soothe rawness \nhard candy or cough drops to relieve sore throat (for kids older than 3 years) \na warm bath or heating pad to soothe aches and pains \nsteam from a hot shower to help your child breathe more easily \nBut what about chicken soup? There's no real proof that eating this soothing, warm concoction can cure a cold, but sick people have been swearing by it for more than 800 years. Why? Chicken soup contains a mucus-thinning amino acid called cysteine, and some research shows that chicken soup helps control congestion-causing white cells, called neutrophils.\n\nThe best plan, though, is not to worry about whether to "feed a cold" or "starve a fever." Just make sure your child eats when hungry and drinks plenty of fluids like water or juice to help replace the fluids lost during fever or mucus production. Avoid giving your child caffeinated beverages, though, which can cause frequent urination and, therefore, increase the risk of dehydration.\n\nWhen to Call Your Child's Doctor\nYour child's doctor won't be able to identify which specific virus is causing your child's cold symptoms, but can examine your child's throat and ears and take a throat culture to make sure the symptoms aren't from another condition that may need specific treatment. (If your child's symptoms get worse instead of better after 3 days or so, the problem could be strep throat, sinusitis, pneumonia, or bronchitis, especially if your child or teen smokes.) Taking a throat culture is a simple, painless procedure that involves brushing the inside of the throat with a long cotton swab. Examining the germs that stick to the swab will help the doctor determine whether your child has strep throat and needs treatment with antibiotics.\n\nIf symptoms last for more than a week, appear at the same time every year, or occur when your child is exposed to pollen, dust, animals, or another substance, your child could have an allergy. If your child has trouble breathing or wheezes when he or she catches a cold, your child could have asthma.\n\nYou should also see your child's doctor if you think your child might have more than a cold, or if he or she is getting worse instead of getting better.\n\nAlso call the doctor if your child has any of these symptoms:\n\ncoughing up a lot of mucus \nshortness of breath \nunusual lethargy/tiredness \ninability to keep food or liquids down or poor fluid intake \nincreasing headache or facial or throat pain \nseverely painful sore throat that interferes with swallowing \nfever of 103 degrees Fahrenheit (39.3 degrees Celsius) or higher, or a fever of 101 degrees Fahrenheit (38.0 degrees Celsius) or higher that lasts for more than a day \nchest or stomach pain \nswollen glands (lymph nodes) in the neck \nearache \nLike most virus infections, colds just have to run their course. Getting plenty of rest, avoiding vigorous activity, and drinking lots of fluids - juice, water, and noncaffeinated beverages - all may help your child feel better while on the mend.\n\nKeeping up regular activities like going to school probably won't make your child's cold any worse. But it will increase the likelihood that the cold will spread to classmates or friends. So you might want to put some daily routines aside until your child is feeling better.

colic is cause by GAS!! Newborns babies usually have lotz of gas that makes their little tummies cramp up a lot!! You can by drops at the store for it to help the baby. I dont remember the name of it...but just ask the pharmacist or just go down the baby aisle at Sav On or the local market. They help a lot. A baby with Colic is very common so dont worry...it will pass. With the drops the baby will feel better and so will you!

Oh man I've swallowed sea water and felt like barfing. I'm thinking if someone drank a bunch of salt water on purpose they couldn't keep it down. Everyone but me that is. lol One time I thought I'd eaten bad food. It scared me so bad I tried to get rid of it. No luck. So I figured I'd mix baking soda with water and chug it. That's kinda like salt water. Well after chugging one large glass of this nasty stuff. lol. I tried and tried to barf. Fingers down the throat wouldn't work. Soooo, lol, down the hatch went another large glass of this nasty tasting stuff. I tried and tried. It never came up. So I wound up digesting all of it. lmao. The really old food and all that baking soda. Sick!\n.

Thank you for answering my question, Kathy.  It is comforting to know that other people feel the same way.  I thought I was crazy and totally irrational until I found some info on this phobia.  Try http://faq.emetophobia.net/emetophobia.html.  It answered all of my questions, and I laughed at how much it was like me!  I also joined two groups on yahoo devoted to this phobia.  Good luck with everything, and know that you are not the only one!  By the way, don't worry about pregnacy...studies show that emetophobic women rarely vomit at all while pregnant, and even some non-emetophobic women do not experience vomiting during pregnancy. Morning sickness does not happen to everyone.  But we emetophobics rarely do it anyway!  :)
