Answer 3

First you need to take her to a doctor to get evaluated. A upper gastrointestinal series may be done or even Esophageal pH monitoring.

1. One of the first lines of defense in dealing with an infant with reflux or GERD is propping the head of the bed or crib at least six inches.

2. While nursing or bottle feeding, try not to let baby lie flat on his back. Let gravity work to his benefit by holding him with his head elevated. Also, shorter and more frequent feedings may help him to digest with fewer problems. Another important thing to do is to keep baby propped up for at least thirty minutes following a meal.

Answer 4

Have baby burp every ounce or so and after bottle, do not lay baby down for 15-30 minutes after feeding, and when ready to lay down, place baby in side-lying position so that if baby spits up, baby will not choke. If this does not work, see if pedi thinks its necessary to place baby on medications.

Answer 5

TRY TO KEEP HER UPRIGHT AFTER FEEDINGS FOR LIKE 15-20 MIN.
YOU CAN ALSO BUY A WEDGE THAT WILL ELEVATE HER HEAD WHEN SHE SLEEPS IT GOES UNDER THE MATTRESS AND THIS WILL HELP AID IN DIGESTION AND NOT LET THE ACID MOVE BACK UP IN THE ESOPHAGUS.

Answer 6

Talk to your pediatrician usually they can give her some medicine that will help her. Usually they grow out of it so don't worry to much.

Answer 7

Take her to the doctors to be sure.It is very painful for them if she does have it.
