Reflux: Babies who have reflux will cry a lot between feedings, arch back and turn their head to the side, seem to be inconsolable. They will be very restless when lying on supine (on the back) and seem somewhat better when upright. They may or may not vomit. A simple test you can do is to give your baby 5 ml of mylanta or other liquid antacid when crying as if in pain. If simple reflux, it will ease the crying right away. Even if it helps, you MUST take your baby to the Pediatrician for an examination. There are other conditions that can cause this behaviour, some serious such as malrotation, milk protein intolerance, pyloric stenosis and milk allergies.
