Baby Reflux Specialist
What is baby reflux?
A baby reflux specialist is a healthcare professional with specialised expertise in diagnosing and managing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in infants.
These specialists, specialist trained midwives or paediatric gastroenterologists, have advanced knowledge in understanding and addressing reflux issues.
They work closely with parents to assess symptoms, recommend appropriate interventions and provide personalised care plans to alleviate discomfort and promote the well-being of infants experiencing reflux.
Seeking guidance from a baby reflux specialist ensures comprehensive and expert care tailored to the specific needs of the child.
Diagnose the type and severity of reflux, distinguishing between normal spitting up and more concerning gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Treatment plans tailored to the baby’s specific needs, considering factors such as feeding patterns, sleep and overall health.
Ongoing assessment of the effectiveness of interventions, with adjustments made as needed.
Feeding strategies and formulas that may help reduce reflux symptoms and support the baby’s nutritional needs.
Coordination with other healthcare professionals, such as paediatricians, lactation consultants or speech therapists, to address various aspects of the baby’s health and well-being.
