What does it mean if my newborn keeps throwing up green stuff?

Call your doctor now: If your baby is throwing up green stuff, it could be a sign of intestinal obstruction. Some babies have a condition called volvulus, in which the intestines twist around themselves, blocking the flow of food and bile through the gut. This is a very serious condition that needs prompt attention, because it can cut off the blood supply to the intestines. Call your doctor right away.
