Be assured that you are not the only ones facing this problem. It is important for you to know that the stomach sphincter in babies cannot close tightly yet. Every time the baby exerts force (you want to count in something minor as passing gas, for example) or bends its abdomen the stomach’s content can flow back through the esophagus and cause the so called regurgitation. Given that there is no other underlying health problem, this issue will solve itself after a while merely with the baby growing older. Nevertheless, due to the acidic nature of the stomach's content, regurgitating should be kept to a minimum as the esophagus might become irritated.

So here are some useful tips to help decrease the occurrence of regurgitation in your child:

1. If you are breast feeding make sure to feed the child when you detect the first signs of hunger. The hungrier the little one is the likelier it is that it will drink hastily, ingesting lots of gas. To prevent this from happening it is also good to nurse the child in an up- right position.
2. If you feed formula be sure that the teat is always filled with milk and has the right size in order to minimize the gas intake.
3. Burp the little one not only after the feeding but also intermittently during meals to help dislodge gas from the stomach.
4. Avoid to fasten diapers too tightly.
5. Avoid any too tight fitting clothes.
6. Do not play with the child after feeding as the exertion can lead to spitting. Instead, let the child stay on your arm for a while after feeding.
7. A temporary measure can be to raise the head end of the crib before putting the little one to bed. It is important to raise the crib itself, by putting some thick books under the crib's feet, for example, and never try using several pillows to prop up the baby, as there would be an imminent danger of suffocation.

Hopefully these suggestion will help you to enjoy meal times with your little one without having to worry too much. Take care!
