Understanding GERD

Will My Baby Outgrow GERD?

While most infants do outgrow GERD, approximately five to eight percent continue to suffer from the condition into childhood and the teen years.

Remember that you are not alone as you struggle to cope with a baby with GERD. Check the Internet for additional information, contact the PAGER group, and read The Fussy Baby Book by Dr. William Sears, MD, The Reflux Book by Elizabeth Pulsifer-Anderson, or this author's book Coping with Chronic Heartburn. The more you know, the more in control you'll feel.
