Acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux, is one of the most common problems in infants. Babies with acid reflux often suffer from a variety of conditions, a
degree of mild to severe intensity, such as recurrent cough, abdominal
pain, and night waking.
This discussion would be more integral to the understanding of the physiological or mechanical aspect of the condition. The body has a circular band on a muscle called the structure of the lower esophageal sphincter. This muscular esophagus stomach is removed. When the feed enters the stomach, which is closed to prevent gastric acid and the content of the backup in the esophagus or regurgitation. But in the case of some babies, the lower esophageal sphincter increased immature. Accordingly, food and digestive acids partially digested allowed to reflux. This condition causes irritation of the lining of the esophagus that leads to inflammation which is also commonly known as heartburn.
Acid reflux in babies usually develops when they are between two and four weeks of age. Doctors usually prescribe medications that reduce the production of stomach acid. Within six to nine months, acid reflux begins to decrease naturally. In this period, the babies spend most of their time in an upright position. It is to apply the law of gravity in ingested food; ie, the food stays down more naturally possible and reduce regurgitation.
The following are useful indicators of power and positioning of babies to lessen acid reflux:
Prepare smaller meals recursively. It makes sense to feed your baby more than normal, but less than usual. If a decline in the volume of milk entering the stomach, digestion will be faster and smaller amount of content available for regurgitation.
Keep the baby upright after eating. As indicated above, the gravity helps keep stomach contents down. Place your baby on your lap while sitting head resting on his chest. Hold for at least half an hour after eating.
Breastfeeding helps. Breast milk is known to have many advantages over other commercial formula, mainly for babies with acid reflux. Breast milk can be digested faster, which obviously reduces regurgitation, and special enzymes that aid digestion. In addition, breast milk does not trigger allergy to babies compared to other milks available on the market. But for those who are in the process of the formula, it is advisable to use milk with a hypoallergenic formula as advised by a physician. In addition to having greater tolerance to sensitive intestines, hypoallergenic milk can be digested more quickly through the stomach to minimize refunds.
Set your baby in a comfortable position during sleep. Since when a baby is flat when sleeping, gravity can not help keep the food in this set-up. As a result, a baby with acid reflux often endure a night of watching pain. If a baby can sleep well, then there will need to request a change in their usual. However, some babies become restless, which can be observed by abdominal pain, acid breath, and wet burps. In this case, it is recommended to increase the crib at about 30 degrees. It will be sufficient to reduce regurgitation. You can also try to teach them to sleep on the left side. It is in this position that the entrance of the stomach is higher than the outlet. This will also help keep food down.
