Hello [*data('firstname') || 'Baby Club Member' *],

Reflux can affect at least 40% of babies and it is the most common feeding issue in the first 6 months of life.
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.
Find out more about what reflux is and what causes it, plus some useful tips to help your baby with symptoms below.
