Infant acid reflux

Infant acid reflux is a common problem for new parents. Infant acid reflux is also known as GERD or gastroesophageal reflux disease. Infant acid reflux describes the situation when acid fluid from the stomach of a baby "backs" esophagus of the baby.

This fluid is called "reflux", and it can also be combined with other stomach as milk bile fluids and breast.
Infant acid reflux is very common and is usually not a medical biggest problem. Babies have digestive systems are not fully grown, and therefore, some problems of digestion are normal. Babies can vomit frequently until three months after being born. In these cases the regurgitado liquid is usually the mother's milk. If the infant acid reflux is continue to occur frequently after after the first three months it can become a health issue and should have the baby to a pediatrician or doctor.
Acid reflux in infants is often diagnosed by the child "spitting". In the worst cases of infant acid reflux, vomiting can occur. Infant acid reflux usually occurs during feeding or shortly thereafter, although infant acid reflux can occur at any time. Some other situations when acid reflux the baby could occur are when your baby cries or cough.
The symptoms of acid reflux in the newborn infants are:
•The baby stomach is particularly sensitive to being touched.
•The hiccups or cough
•The baby appeared irritable and feeds
•The integrated milk regurgitation

•The baby does not want to eat
To diagnose acid reflux in infants, the pediatrician will normally be necessary to collect information of parents with respect to any symptoms you are shown your baby. It will usually need to feed and patterns of your baby, as well as information on diet of sleep. If your doctor decides that the evidence is necessary, there are several that may be made:
Monitoring of pH •Esophageal: which is used to test the acidity in the esophagus of the baby.
•Upper endoscopy: this test consists of a tube with a lens of the camera are inserted in the baby's mouth and esophagus of the baby.
•Blood or urine tests: these tests can help identify the probable cause of acid reflux in baby.
