Regurgitation and reflux in babies

Your baby has reflux after feeding? This physiological phenomenon is very common during the first months of an infant's life.

  • In most cases, regurgitation, also called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is not dangerous for your child's health.
  • It is simply a backflow of milk mixed with saliva from the stomach into the mouth.
  • Don't confuse reflux with vomiting, which involves muscular effort.
  • Reflux naturally disappears around 9 to 12 months of age, when baby is standing up.
  • If reflux is too frequent, painful, and happens away from meals, consult your pediatrician.

My baby is 7 weeks old and I’m doing both breast milk and formula. He’s drinking around 4-5 ounces but he spits up a lot after if not burped fully or maybe just has a lot of reflux. Do any other mommas have the same problem with their baby? How can I help with reflux?

My baby is struggling with reflux to and honestly you can’t do a lot to help it but make sure you just burp them after feeding and lay them on their side to decrease it

Thank you for the advice. I just feel like he’s not eating and getting as full because he’s throwing it up. I hope as he gets bigger it’s less.

She is fussy (colic) and very gassy. She was farting and burping so much. She starts crying during feeding. Cry during her awake time. Didn’t like to do tummy time for long at all. So the feeds has been spread out as in a little at a time over the three hours. She arches her back and tries to go on her side to get away from the pain. So what I would do to see if she does is have her feed upright and have her upright at least 30 min after feeding too. If that helps a little I would go to the doctor to get some meds. It has helped my baby until the meds kick in.

If you're using formula try to get "Enfamil AR. If you use WIC your baby's pediatrician can fill out a form provided by WIC to get the milk changed. They milk worked for my baby to avoid acid reflux meds
