Hello. If Hannah vomits up the rag and you are sure the whole rag is out, you can try feeding her and seeing if she is bright, happy, eating and pooping well. If she continues to vomit then likely some rag is stuck and she will need surgery to remove it. Otherwise, if she is eating/pooping well, then just monitor her for the next few days, at which point it should be out of her system. Good luck with Hannah.
