who at most times does not know what is ailing her infant. A doctor's
report can rule out Acid Reflux as the cause of your infant's
discomfort. The good news is the problem disappears after one year of
age. The bad news is that it can actually affect your infant's
health.
How do you know that your infant has the disease? An Acid test
done is the best thing to rely on. The symptoms include uncontrolled
crying, nausea and vomiting, belching and a lot of spitting. A dry
cough and lack of appetite can also indicate presence of the reflux
disease. These symptoms alone should not rule out the presence of the
disease.
Acid reflux infants usually have a digestive system that is not
fully developed. This causes hydrochloric acid produced by the
stomach to reflux into the esophagus causing the disease.
Acid reflux infants should be fed small portions of food more
often. Breastfeeding is the best option as the milk contains all the
nutrients the infant needs in a balanced state. Breastfeeding also
reduces the chances of the infant getting the disease.
Some infants have the reflux and it does not affect there lives at
all. Others can not do anything but cry the whole day. For these
special remedies should be sort. Please don't go listening to advise
from your friends. Always consult a doctor. Over the counter drugs
are a big no for infants and children.
At night, you can use acid reflux pillows for acid reflux infants.
These pillows are designed in a special way such that the infant's
body slants down from the head. Infants should sleep on the side to
minimize risks of choking and acid reflux. The acid reflux pillows
hold the infant in position the whole night.
