Several maternal or environmental factors can promote the appearance of a dysbiosis such as taking antibiotics, but also the mode of delivery^1-5.

The rapid development of the infant’s digestive system may promote the development of functional gastrointestinal disorders such as colic or constipation¹.

The multicentric randomized study of Beghin et al.¹ has evaluated the effects of prebiotic oligosaccharides (scGOS/lcFOS*), 3′-GL (3′-galactosyllactose) HMO** and postbiotics combination in infant formulas.

Remarkably, an
infant’s stomach undergoes a tenfold increase in volume capacity over a period
of around 30 days. Other changes take place from birth to the early years that
are affected by external stimuli,

Infant regurgitation, gastroesophageal
reflux (GER) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) all have slightly
different symptoms – find out how to differentiate between them

Infant regurgitation and reflux have been defined for
FGID management by NASPGHAN*/ESPGHAN** and other worldwide key experts.

Parental
reassurance and education, along with advice on nutritional management in
infants, are the first steps in treating infant regurgitation.

NASPGHAN* and ESPGHAN** provided an
update of their clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and management of
gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in
infants and children.
