What Causes Expel Of Brown Mucous During Vomiting?

My baby is 3 months and she just threw up a small amount with brown colored mucous-like throw up in it. It was about the size of a silver dollar. Should I be concerned. She has never done this before. I checked her temp and it is normal and no behavioral cues.

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi... if the baby is feeding normally and otherwise active you need not worry about this. Red flag signs if something sinister is going on in the baby at this age would be -

1. stoppage of feeding completely.
2. fever above 101 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. respiratory distress and fast breathing.
4. abnormal spontaneous bruising on the skin.
