Small portions often: The key is smaller, more frequent feedings & burping your infant frequently during & after feedings. Keeping your baby sitting upright after feedings is often useful. You should avoid feeding caffeine & peppermint or any carbonated drinks. Cow milk formula or even cow milk in a breast-feeding mom's diet can trigger infant reflux. Your pediatrician may recommend other anti-reflux strategies also.

Reflux: Thicken her foods, never over feed, offer small more frequent feeds, do not feed her lying down. Have her eat more solids. It generally improves once babies have the ability to sit alone. If you think she is getting worse also consider food allergies and have her evaluated by a GI specialist.
