Infant Reflux and Constipation

Infant spit up, reflux, and constipation are common. When severe, it can be really overwhelming to a parent. On this episode, I welcome Dr. GI Joe (Dr. Joanna) who is a pediatric Gastroenterologist (@gastrodoc.md on Instagram). We discuss infant reflux and constipation.  Why does spit up happen? What is the difference between spit up and reflux? When are medications needed for reflux? When does reflux get better? What are some basic reflux precautions after feedings? What is infant dyschezia? Is all straining constipation? What are some basic remedies for constipation? What are some red flags when it comes to baby poop? Tune in to listen to a great discussion on the infant gut!
