What is Infant reflux?
Infant reflux is a common condition that affects 50% of babies in their first three months.
Infant reflux mainly occurs in babies as they have an underdeveloped valve between food pipe and stomach.
Infant reflux typically occurs after feeds in the form of regurgitation but can also give rise to other troublesome symptoms.
How to Identify Infant Reflux?
Excessive crying often after a feed
Difficulty keeping feeds down
Sometimes arching the back after a feed
How does Gaviscon Infant help in Infant reflux?
Gaviscon Infant works by thickening the contents of the stomach.
This helps to stop the stomach contents escaping into the food pipe and therefore helps to control reflux symptoms.
Gaviscon Infant works in a physical, non-systemic way meaning it is not absorbed into the baby bloodstream to work.
