Understanding Reflux in Babies
What is Infant Reflux?
Reflux in infants is a very common condition that occurs when milk returns from the baby's stomach to the esophagus and mouth after feeding. Most babies experience some degree of reflux, and it usually does not cause concern.
Symptoms of Reflux
- Spitting up after feeding
- Crying or discomfort during or after feeding
- Difficulty sleeping
- Arching back during feeding
Tips to Reduce Reflux
- Feed your baby in a slightly inclined position
- Burp your baby after every feed
- Keep baby upright for 20-30 minutes after feeding
- Offer smaller, more frequent feeds
In persistent cases, your doctor may recommend a specialized formula like BebeLait AR designed to reduce reflux. Always consult your doctor before changing milk type.
