How to Cure Reflux in Infants?

Feed smaller amounts more often

Burp the baby frequently during and after feeds

Keep the baby upright for 20 to 30 minutes after feeding

Avoid tight diapers or clothing around the abdomen

Check bottle nipple flow to prevent overfeeding or swallowing air

Try paced bottle feeding

If breastfeeding, review feeding technique and latch

Consider thickened feeds only if advised by a pediatrician

Keep the baby’s sleep surface flat and on the back

Avoid placing the baby in a car seat or swing right after feeding

Track feeding amounts, spit-up, weight gain, and symptoms

Ask a pediatrician about cow’s milk protein intolerance if symptoms persist

Seek medical care if there is poor weight gain, vomiting forcefully, blood in vomit or stool, breathing problems, or signs of dehydration
