When most of us think about heartburn we rarely consider acid reflux infants, but this condition (heartburn, acid reflux, gerd) is quite common in babies. In fact, more than half of all infants experience acid reflux within the first three months of their lives. The good news is that only a small number of infants experience the more serious symptoms.

Here’s what to look for if you suspect your infant might have acid reflux:

  • Is your infant experiencing sleeping problems?
  • Is your infant coughing even though there’s no evidence of a cold?
  • Has your infant experienced weight loss?
  • Has your infant exhibited a lack of appetite?
  • Does he or she spit up frequently?
  • Does he or she exhibit unusual irritability?
  • Is there chest pain?
  • Is there a sore throat?
  • Does your baby have bad breath that’s reminiscent of vomit?
  • Is your baby crying for no apparent reason?
