Acid Reflux

When I was a daycare provider, we had kids with reflux. It was less common in breastfed babies, and if you fed a hungry baby a lot of formula at one sitting, it was sure to come up again within a few minutes. So I do believe that slowing down and smaller amounts at one sitting are important.

I have noticed that some babies who spit up everything suddenly stop once they start walking around. I don't know if it is the increase in activity, or if it is a matter of physical growth.

I dont think that article applies to all reflux babies. I know Nevy had reflux b/c she was pre-term and tha valve in her throat was not fully mature. Once it closed aroound 9-10 months old she was fine. The best way to determind why your child has reflux is to get an upper GI. That way the Dr. can figure out the best course of action.

I scanned through that article on blood counts but I was just wondering what part of it your asking is true?

As to his fever. I know that reflux can cause irritation to throat which can lead to infections which is another reason he should see a specialist. Also children with reflux are more likley to get ear infections then normal babies.
