What are the symptoms of reflux in babies?

Your baby may regurgitate a little milk after a feed or have hiccups. He/She may occasionally cough a little after regurgitating the milk if a little has gone “down the wrong way”. This is normal and as long as your baby is otherwise well, you don’t need to worry. Just make sure you always have a bib or muslin cloth to hand. Both formula-fed and breastfed babies may be affected.

More common symptoms of reflux:
Crying in pain
Discomfort when feeding (arching, screaming, refusal, turning away)

These are only some of the symptoms of reflux. Children with reflux may experience any number of these symptoms.
