Reflux in newborns can sometimes be mistaken for regurgitation. Reflux is often associated with irritability in the baby. It is important to remember that babies are still learning how to digest, so a period of adjustment is normal. Some measures that can help include giving smaller and more frequent feedings, pausing to burp the baby during feedings, avoiding laying the baby down immediately after feeding, avoiding tight clothing, and changing the baby's position. If these measures do not help, it is important to consult a doctor for a medical evaluation.
