Top 3 breastfeeding reasons that can contribute to acid reflux in infants are:
1. Not a proper seal so they are swallowing air
2. Overeating. Sucking is soothing to babies so sometimes they want to continue to feed often, but their tummies are full. Overfilled belly = reflux.
3. Mother is ingesting something that they are sensitive to. Top foods are: dairy, soy, egg, gluten, nuts.
This is why having a breastfeeding support team of International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) + bodyworker (Pediatric Certified Chiropractor, Massage Therapist, Feeding Specialist, etc) can be a game changer.
