Infant reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux (GER), is a common occurrence in healthy babies. It happens when food or milk comes back up from the stomach into the esophagus, the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. This is often referred to as "spitting up." Symptoms that point to reflux include infant posset and projectile vomiting. If your baby shows these symptoms, it's important to see a qualified clinician to confirm or rule out reflux. If your baby is thriving and showing no signs of distress, you can be reassured. However, if symptoms worsen or your baby shows signs of discomfort, it's best to seek urgent care. There are no specific tests or dosing information provided in the context.
