Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) can affect 50% of infants younger than three months old (1). Up to 50% of GER is due to increased abdominal pressure overcoming the esophageal sphincter pressure which is low in early birth infants (2-4). The consequences can lead to a pathological disease even in neonates and young infants (5) which is stressful for babies and infants as well as for the parents/ Original Article
