Medical tests and treatment
In babies' reflux 'is a word used to describe the backward flow of generally milk from the stomach. But the problem is also acid and mucous from the stomach which can make the baby vomit lots or spill a little of the stomach contents.
Sometimes you may notice your baby blowing bubbles from the mouth when laid flat after a feed or they might just scream lots after a feeding especially if they are put to bed in a horizontal position as the acid can cause a burning sensation and is painful. Drugs often used are to thicken the stomach contents so the baby stops vomiting and / or drugs to stop the burning feeling. |
