#asktheexpert my baby keeps getting reflux and spitups after drinking milk, if we try to reduce his feed he doesn't sleep

A. If your baby frequently has reflux and spit-ups after drinking milk but still needs frequent feeds for sleep, it could be due to immature digestion, which is common in infants. Here are a few things you can try: Feed in an Upright Position: Hold your baby at a 45-degree angle while feeding and keep them upright for 20-30 minutes after feeding. Burp Frequently: Burp your baby mid-feed and after feeding to release trapped gas. Smaller, Frequent Feeds: Instead of reducing the total milk intake, try giving smaller but more frequent feeds to prevent overfilling the stomach. Avoid Sudden Movements: Do not lay the baby flat or engage in active play immediately after feeding. Check for Allergies or Sensitivities: If reflux is severe or persistent, consult a pediatrician to check for milk allergy or lactose intolerance. If the baby has severe discomfort, weight loss, excessive crying, or difficulty breathing, see a doctor to rule out GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease).
