Home Remedies for Acid Reflux in Babies 1.
Sleeping Adjustments
Babies with acid reflux often have difficulty sleeping.
In fact, an incorrect sleeping position as well as timing can worsen their condition
and make them fussier.
Keep the head of your baby�s crib, bassinet or bed elevated by about 30 degrees with the
help of some towels.
When your baby�s upper body is elevated, gravity does its work and prevents the stomach
contents from reverting back into the esophagus.

You can even try to make your baby sleep on their back or left side to help clear acid
from the esophagus.
Never feed your baby while he or she is in a sleeping position.
It is always better to have your baby sit upright on your lap while nursing, and don�t
lay your baby down immediately after feeding.
Hold your baby upright for at least 30 minutes after feeding.

Massage Therapy
Regular massage helps improve functioning of the respiratory and digestive systems in
babies.
Massage stimulates the vagus nerve, the nerve in the brain that controls various regions
of the respiratory and digestive systems.
It even helps the body develop more quickly so that each and every body part starts operating
more effectively sooner.

Some Exercise
To help babies deal with the symptoms of acid reflux, you must try some basic movement exercises.

after exercise and never feed immediately before an exercise session.

spitting up.

Rub it clockwise on your baby�s stomach for 1 minute, a few times daily.
