How to tell if your baby has reflux ⬇️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Reflux is a common problem we see in infants at Nourish Family Chiropractic in Mount Airy, North Carolina.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s an issue that causes stomach contents to come back up, which can lead to discomfort and pain.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are a few signs to look out for:
✅ Back arching
✅ Coughing
✅ Gagging
✅ Poor eating
✅ Irritability after eating
✅ Weight issues
✅ Frequent vomiting
✅ Facial redness
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you believe your infant struggles with reflux, it’s important to see an IBCLC to check the child’s latch and feeding. (We have Stephanie in the office to help with this!) Poor latch and feeding can result in swallowed air, contributing to increased gas and reflux.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you suspect reflux, here are some things you can try at home:
1. Increase tummy time (head control is essential for optimal feeding).
2. Burp them more regularly (during and after feedings).
3. Keep them upright for a few minutes after they eat.

Before resorting to medication like a proton pump inhibitor, consider chiropractic care. Parents in our office report major improvements in their infant’s reflux after being under regular care. 🙌🏼
