Points to Remember About Gastroesophageal Reflux in Infants

• GER occurs when stomach contents back up into the esophagus.
  
  
• GER is common in infants but most children grow out of it.
  
  
• In infants, GER may cause spitting up, vomiting, coughing, poor feeding, or blood in the stools.
  
  
• Treatment depends on the infant's symptoms and age, and may include changes in eating and sleeping habits. Medication may also be an option, or surgery in severe cases.
