The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends that if your infant is suffering from ONE of the following regarding reflux or if you have any concerns regarding your infants health, please ask the advice of your medical advisor:

* Regurgitation -If vomiting becomes more forceful (projectile), looks green or yellow-ish in colour or looks to have blood in it.

* Exceeds one year of age - If you are still seeing reflux issues after one is over a year.

* Feeding issues – If your baby can’t feed.

* Losing weight, or poor weight gain – If he or she starts to lose weight or you see that the weight gain on your babies growth chart is poor.

* Unusual changes? – If you see any changes that worry you or anything gets worse.

* Extreme crying – He or she won’t stop crying for long periods of time or is very distressed.
