Managing your baby's acid reflux or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) often requires thoughtful changes to feeding habits and diet. A registered dietitian plays a key role in creating a plan that helps soothe symptoms while supporting healthy growth.

​

Personalized Feeding and Nutrition Guidance

After carefully assessing your baby's symptoms and feeding patterns, a dietitian can recommend specific adjustments. This might include modifying formula types, introducing reflux-friendly solid foods at the right time, and avoiding common triggers like acidic foods. They also guide portion sizes and meal timing, suggesting smaller, more frequent feedings to ease pressure on your baby's tummy.

​

Practical Lifestyle and Feeding Strategies

Beyond diet, a dietitian can recommend simple, effective techniques such as keeping your baby upright after feedings or slightly elevating the head of the crib (with safe sleep practices in mind). These small changes can greatly reduce reflux episodes and discomfort.

​

Ongoing Support and Monitoring

Because every baby is different, regular follow-up appointments help track your baby's progress and fine-tune the plan as needed. With continuous support, your dietitian ensures your baby's nutrition remains balanced while keeping GERD symptoms under control.

Through a personalised and gentle approach, a dietitian can make a real difference in helping your baby feel better and thrive.
