Abstract
It is normal for babies in the first few months of life to bring up small amounts of milk during or following feeds (possetting). As long as they are otherwise well and continue to grow then nothing further need be done. With earlier discharges following normal delivery (in some cases within 6 h of delivery), it is not unusual for newborns to present with bile stained vomiting and present to a specialist centre from home.
