Breastfeeding position

[Avioncumotor]

Is it possible that a 13 months baby, breastfed laying down, can lead to gastroesophageal reflux? He never had it, not even in his first 6months of life.

Unlikely if didnt have it as a baby as tends to get better with age not worse. Why do you think he has reflux?

He doesn’t. But his paediatrician said that, breastfeeding while laying down could lead to that.

I.would have thought most children breast feed lying down. My 19month old always has. If you're child is not bothered/having symptoms I wouldn't worry.
