What You Can Do to Lessen the Effects of Infant Acid Reflux

By: Arturo R

Infant acid reflux is usually more devastating to the parents than it is to the child suffering with the condition. Sure, they will spit up a lot and cry, but they won�t remember any of that. You on the other hand will never forget the frustration and despair you experienced when your baby was suffering with infant acid reflux.

There are some things you can do to help lessen the effects and manage the symptoms of infant acid reflux. The best thing you can do is have patience and know that the condition will not last forever and it will not harm your child in any lasting way.

Your baby should begin to outgrow infant acid reflux at about six months of age. It is thought that because the baby is spending more time sitting upright rather than lying down, and this is said that in itself, will help prevent spit ups. After you have fed your baby, you can try keeping her in an upright position and quiet. Once the baby has finished her bottle and burped, sit her in your lap with her head nestled on your chest. Stay this way for at least thirty minutes after she has finished eating.

Another step you can take to reduce the symptoms of infant acid reflux is to offer smaller meals more frequently. When your baby suffers with infant acid reflux, you should feed the child twice as often and feed only half as much. Your baby will be able to digest smaller amounts of formula quicker, thus eliminating extra acid production.

A great way to avoid the more severe symptoms of infant acid reflux is to breast feed your baby and be careful of the food you are eating as it can pass into the milk that feeds your baby. Continue breast feeding as long as it is feasible to you, as feeding a baby with infant acid reflux formula can only worsen the symptoms. Breast milk contains digestion aiding enzymes that can minimize the effects of infant acid reflux.
