Acid reflux is common in babies and it is usually not a sign of a serious problem. Most babies stop having reflux around 1 year of age. A child who continues to have reflux may need treatment.
You can try a few lifestyle changes to help a infant with acid reflux:
- Raise the head of the baby's crib or bassinet
- Hold him upright for 30 minutes after a feeding
- Thicken his bottle feedings with cereal (ask your doctor before you try this)
- Change his feeding schedule
- Try giving him solid food (with your doctor's OK)
Hope it helps!
