Why is no one speaking up about these?
If your baby has been struggling with constant spit-up, colic, poor sleep, or fussiness after feeds, youâve probably been told:
âItâs normalâyour baby will grow out of it.â
âTry switching formula or cutting dairy.â
âTheyâll be fineâjust wait it out.â
But what if thereâs a deeper root cause that you can address? Here are 5 hidden reasons for reflux that no one is talking about:
C-section birth â Babies born via C-section often have less beneficial gut bacteria, making digestion harder.
Early antibiotic use â While sometimes necessary, antibiotics wipe out good gut bacteria, affecting digestion and increasing reflux risk.
Momâs gut health â If mom has gut imbalances, baby may inherit those same microbes that are causing digestive struggles & sensitivities.
Inflammation in the Gut â When the gut lining is irritated, undigested food particles can pass through, leading to increased discomfort, reflux, and digestive issues.
Gut imbalance â Low levels of good bacteria can lead to poor digestion, gas, and reflux symptoms.
Reflux isnât just a phase, itâs a sign of whatâs happening inside your babyâs gut. When digestion isnât working properly, it can lead to gas, bloating, discomfort, food sensitivities, and even disrupted sleep. Instead of just managing symptoms, letâs uncover the root cause so your baby can feel better long-term.
