How long does it take for a newborn gastroesophageal reflux to resolve on its own

In most cases, due to the uncoordinated swallowing function of newborns, the stomach is horizontal, and gastroesophageal reflux is easy to occur, and this gastroesophageal reflux is used in the semi-recumbent position or the right decubitus position in the early stage, and most of the prognosis is relatively good, so it can basically be cured at 3 months after birth. However, if left untreated, it can easily lead to aspiration pneumonia in newborns, or to cause asphyxia and apnea in newborns.

This symptom is most likely caused by a condition caused by excessive relaxation of the lower muscles of the esophagus, causing stomach contents to flow upward, also known as gastroesophageal reflux. It should be noted that when breastfeeding your baby, you should pay attention to the number of feedings so as not to be too frequent, and it is best to feed a small amount of milk multiple times.

What's going on with gastroesophageal reflux in babiesGastroesophageal reflux is the reflux of stomach and duodenal contents into the esophagus.

It is more common in temporary reflux that occurs after breastfeeding in neonates and young babies and in infants and young children.

If the regurgitation is severe or persistent, or if it is combined with aspiration pneumonia, asphyxia and affects normal growth and development, it is pathological.
