Child throwing up mucus no fever

One minute they’re cooing and adorably drooling. The next they are covered in spit-up, snot, and vomit.

Baby coughing and vomiting mucus

Ah, the gross joys (and concerns) that are par for the course in the baby phase of parenting. In fact, it’s not out of the ordinary for babies to expel all these fluids at once — and to actually throw up their phlegm.

“Vomiting is very common for babies, congestion is also very common for babies — so vomiting phlegm also ends up being common for babies,” Dr.

Rebekah Diamond, M.D., pediatrician and author of Parent Like a Pediatrician, tells Romper. “Even when babies aren’t sick they tend to have congestion, and this can lead to vomiting up mucus since all people swallow phlegm and almost all babies vomit or at least spit up routinely.” Of course, even though throwing up phlegm may be a relatively common occurrence (there’s a reason parents are often armed with a burp cloth or bib), it’s important to understand both why it occurs and what it may signify, if anything unusual at all.
