Infants and Children with Acid Reflux

In what ways, in addition to using medication, have you dealt with your infant, child or teen’s reflux? Share the modifications in diet and lifestyle that you found to be most effective.

Almost all children and adults have a little bit of reflux, often without being aware of it. However, in some children, the stomach contents remain in the esophagus and damage the esophageal lining, and reflux symptoms may occur.

Many babies have spitting up problems that don't require treatment. Referred to as "happy spitters," their symptoms usually disappear after six to eight months. For some infants, however, their symptoms are a sign of something more serious than routine spitting up, and medical advice should be sought.
