A:Dealing with reflux can be tough for the whole family,but medicines and adapting some of your routines can have a positive outcome.
To ease things a little,try:
*Keeping your baby upright in feeds and for around 30 minutes after to help prevent acid coming up.
*Elevating the head of his cot by 30' by putting something under the legs of the cot.This minimises the impact of acid regurgitation.
*Small,frequent feeds,especially if he's sick,as he'll feel hungry quickly.
*Slow,calm feeding with frequent stops to allow burping.
*Avoid your tot slumping over in car seats as this can compress the abdomen.
*Avoiding tight elastic on clothing around the tummy or putting nappies on too tight.
