Reflux Baby. Experts recommended babies to be slept on their backs to prevent interruption of the airways and sudden infant death syndrome SIDS. Reflux happens when some stomach contents eg breastmilk pass from the stomach back up into a babys oesophagus muscular tube that leads from the mouth to the stomach and sometimes spills out her mouth. This spilling which can be called spitting up posseting or bringing milk up is common in babies especially after a feed. Does not cause crying and irritability in healthy infants.
