Ask Dr. Sears: Coping With Baby’s Acid Reflux
–

“Feed tummy-friendly milk. If you are
breastfeeding, continue exclusive breastfeeding for as long as
possible. Breast milk has many advantages over formula, especially for
a baby with GER. It’s digested faster than formula, which minimizes
reflux, and it contains enzymes that aid digestion. Also, while babies
are not allergic to mother’s milk, they can be to many types of
formula, especially babies with GER. If formula-feeding, use a
hypoallergenic formula as recommended by your baby’s doctor. Besides
being tolerated better by sensitive intestines, some of these formulas
are digested more quickly so they remain in the stomach for a shorter
time. “
