According to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse, more than half of all the babies ever born experience this condition during several of the starting months and this.
The muscles that make up the area from the esophagus to the stomach, especially the barrier known as lower esophageal sphincter or LES is still underdeveloped.
But even with the large number of the infant population affected, most cases will be outgrown by the 12th to 18th month.
Infant acid reflux would most likely be triggered after the infant has been fed, but regurgitation may occur every time the baby strains, cries or even coughs.
The condition generally does not cause any complications in the normal progression of the baby.
Severe cases may lead to symptoms such as abnormality in weight gain, breathing problems, spitting fluids and food that already amounts to more than two teaspoons at a time, has a hoarse voice, when the baby appears to be exhausted, the amount of waste excreted is lesser than normal (fewer wet diapers), and the regurgitated liquid is or brown or green color.
Having the baby to take milk or other food right for his age may be done by helping him maintain a slanted, if not upright position.
Feeding can also be integrated with break times when the parent or carer of the baby would help him to burp.
