Abstract
Gastro-oesophageal reflux (GER) is a physiological phenomenon that occurs in persons of all age groups, more frequently after the ingestion of liquid food. Therefore, most infants spit up milk after feedings, sometimes in a spectacular fashion. This postprandial regurgitation is rarely associated with any serious consequences to the baby and is usually outgrown by 1–2 years of age.
