Infant acid reflux is quite common. People of all ages, especially
infants because they consume only liquids or soft foods, suffer
from mild heartburn or acidic regurgitation on occasion. As in
adult cases, infants experience acid reflux when the lower
esophageal sphincter (LES) is relaxed. The LES acts as a valve
between the esophagus and the stomach. It opens up to allow food
into the stomach and then closes in order to protect the esophagus
and other organs from acidic reflux. Unfortunately, it is difficult
to determine if an infant has developed a chronic form of heartburn
called gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD.
Cute Baby Clothes In order to determine if an infant has a chronic form of
heartburn (GERD) you should consult your pediatrician. Look for
clues such as sleeping problems, coughing, weight loss, lack of
appetite, spitting up frequently, and apnea. Acid reflux disease
can cause respiratory problems including pneumonia, strictures and
ulcerations on the esophageal wall, and malnourishment. Infant acid
reflux symptoms usually include recurrent coughing, bad breath,
spitting up frequently, unusual irritability and crying, chest
pain, and sore throat.

Organic Baby Clothes There are several causes of acid reflux in infants. Many of the
causes are exacerbated by the fact that infants, much more so than
adults, consume mostly liquids and spend a great deal of time on
their backs or in a supine position. Combined with the backwash
potential of liquids, lying down puts pressure on the LES
(esophagus valve) and increases the chances for reflux. Other
causes could be attributed to the anatomy of a child's stomach
position, poor eating habits, smoking (second hand), being
overweight, and food allergies.

Punk Baby Clothes In addition to GERD, infants can be diagnosed with a functional
version of acid reflux. This condition can be improved with simple
modifications such as changing eating habits, keeping the child
upright after eating, and encouragement. GERD, or the chronic
disease, requires medical treatment by a physician, prescription
drug therapy, as well as lifestyle changes.
