Babies who spit up frequently
in their first 2 years of life sometimes continue to have similar problems
in childhood.
Australian researchers found
that babies who often regurgitated or vomited after eating were more likely
than others to have heartburn and other related symptoms by the time they
were 9 years old.
The investigators found that
babies who regurgitated or vomited food on 90 or more days during their
first 2 years were more likely than others to have gastroesophageal reflux
symptoms at age 9.
