Regurgitation is considered entirely normal in babies younger than one year of age 4. However, if your baby frequently regurgitates, their food pipe may become irritated and inflamed from the stomach acid which can cause pain and distress 4. This could mean they have a more serious form of reflux known as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) which may need treatment 3. If your baby has GORD, your doctor may prescribe certain medications or treatments 4. It's important to take extra care when making up and storing these products as powdered formula is not sterile and making it up at lower temperatures will not kill any harmful bacteria it may contain. It’s been suggested that pacifier or ‘dummy’ use after feeding can help soothe babies with reflux and reduce crying and fussiness, however, there’s not enough research to support this 10. Pacifiers are a personal choice and they’re not something to feel guilty about if it helps your baby. Speak to your health visitor for more advice about the pros and cons of pacifier use.

If you think your baby has GORD, it’s important to speak to your GP. The good news is that there are special techniques to feed a baby with reflux and methods to help soothe a baby with reflux.

Your baby should be able to happily switch from the old formula to the new but if you would like to ease the transition, you might prefer to change over gradually. This may allow your little one time to adjust to the new milk.
