Practical, gentle strategies to ease reflux in babies and children.
We help families manage reflux and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) with clear advice that reduces stress and supports growth.
Understanding reflux and its impact on feeding.
Reflux is common in babies and children, but that doesn’t make it easy to live with. Frequent spit-ups, unsettled behaviour, feeding refusal, or poor weight gain can cause worry and frustration for families. At Cubs Paediatric Dietetics, we provide evidence-based strategies to ease reflux symptoms, improve comfort, and ensure your child receives the nutrition they need to grow. We look beyond the symptoms to understand what’s driving your child’s reflux — assessing feeding techniques, growth patterns, and possible triggers. From there, we offer tailored strategies to reduce discomfort, practical feeding adjustments to support families, and collaboration with paediatricians when medical treatment is needed.
Common concerns we can help with:
- Frequent vomiting or spit-ups
- Irritability or unsettled behaviour during/after feeds
- Poor weight gain or faltering growth
- Feeding refusal or aversion
- Suspected allergy contributing to reflux
- Managing reflux in preterm babies
