1)Don’t have those food which cause acidity , in front of children

( preferably don’t have them).


2) For older children talk to them

Try tl make them understand that the discomfort due to acidity is due to those particular food, that often helps cut down tantrums.


3) If they still insist , control the amount which they can have of favorite foods which you know cause reflux..., lesser the better.


4) Make them avoid these food at bedtime ,as lying down will make acid reflux worse.Bedtime atleast 2 to 3 hours after meals.


5) Dinner time should be early to avoid lying down with a full stomach

6)Make a habit of drinking plenty of water.When they see you drinking water , they will drink water too


7) Avoid spicy food as they generally make acidity worse.

8) Eat healthier as a family and not just for the child

9) If the baby drinks milk at bedtime try to gradually replace the calories from milk with semisolid or solid food earlier in the evening

.A satisfied child who has a full stomach , is more likely to listen to reason than a hungry crabby child.


Your children’s health is in your hand .Be aware and take care.

Acid reflux is not to be ignored
