Symptoms can range from regurgitation of various amounts of food over arching back at feeds and excessive crying to feeding aversion and failure to gain weight. The good news is that most babies grow out of it, a large number of babies as soon as the age of 6 months.
Feeding situations can be particularly stressful for parents and baby, as both have negative associations with the experience. Parents are advised to introduce solids early, and this can add extra stress to the situation. The idea behind an early introduction of solids is that the thicker texture might help to keep the food in the stomach. There is some evidence that feed thickeners can reduce the amount of reflux episodes per day and, therefore, the theory could be right, although there aren’t any studies around this topic. The most important advice around this topic is to make sure your baby shows all the signs of readiness for solids and that you feel comfortable enough to give it a go.
Make sure you find a way, which works for both you and your baby. The first months with a reflux baby are stressful enough and introducing solids should be a positive experience for both of you. If you feel that introducing solids has not helped with your little one’s symptoms, talk to your GP about it. It might be worth waiting a little longer until you try again or to discuss other treatment options.
