Friday Favorites: Treating Reflux in Babies with Diet

Treat the cause of infant reflux with maternal cow’s milk elimination.

Maternal diets can have a direct effect on breast-fed babies, as I previously covered in Treating Infant Colic by Changing Mom’s Diet ( ) and Infant Seizures Linked to Mother’s Spirulina Use ( ).

But for mothers who are able, breast is still always best. See The Best Baby Formula ( ) and Formula for Childhood Obesity ( ).
