Reflux is when a baby brings up milk, or is sick, during or shortly after feeding. This happens because muscles at the base of baby's food pipe (oesophagus) are still developing, making it hard to always keep milk down.

It is the most common baby feeding issue and as long as your baby is content and gaining weight, there's most likely nothing to worry about. A healthcare professional can advise you on tips to help with baby reflux.

Colic is when a baby cries a lot with no obvious cause and it's hard to soothe the baby. 1 in 5 babies experience colic and although it usually gets better on its own over time, it can cause distress for both you and your baby until it resolves.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: We believe that breastfeeding is the ideal nutritional start for babies and we fully support the World Health Organization's recommendation of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life followed by the introduction of adequate nutritious complementary foods along with continued breastfeeding up to two years of age. We also recognise that breastfeeding is not always an option for parents. We recommend that you speak to your healthcare professional about how to feed your baby and seek advice on when to introduce complementary feeding. If you choose not to breastfeed, please remember that such a decision can be difficult to reverse and has social and financial implications. Introducing partial bottle-feeding will reduce the supply of breast milk. Infant formula should always be prepared, used and stored as instructed on the label in order to avoid risks to a baby's health.
