We recently read an interesting write-up addressing a study performed at the Pediatric Specialty Center in New Orleans.
The report indicates doctors may be over-prescribing anti-reflux medication to infants. The study found fewer than 20% of the babies who had been prescribed the medication actually needed it. It’s thought that they may have just been exhibiting the normal behavior of “spitting up” that newborns experience.
Dr. Vikram Khoshoo, author of the study, suggested the drugs are being over prescribed because parents want something done to try to stop the regurgitation and irritability of the babies. Dr. Khoshoo adds that taking proper care in not over feeding your child and ensuring your baby is positioned upright after eating, should help decrease the chance of reflux.
