My ped. says that all babies have reflux. My baby is on meds for it. He is considered to be severe enough to warrant it.

I do not believe that problems with reflux are more common. My ped. believes that more babies are medicated for it now because many doctors now believe that we should not accept having our babies in extreme discomfort. A baby will not learn and develop as well if he/she is constantly uncomfortable.

Honestly, I am glad that my baby is being treated for it. We constantly monitor his meds and we are ready to taper him off as soon as we feel he has outgrown the worst of it.
