It is believed that 1 in 300 babies suffer from acid reflux. This condition is just as painful, uncomfortable and distressful in this population as it is in adults. Acid reflux in babies can cause more then just pain. It can also cause a failure to thrive.

Acid reflux can be hard to detect in babies at first. This is because acid reflux involves regurgitation and all babies regurgitate even those that don’t suffer from GERD. Therefore, caregivers need to look for specific signs of acid reflux in babies.
