Gag out the food your baby has several times a day is common. But when your child is often vomiting, it can cause other problems or symptoms. Continuous vomiting in a baby is often caused by acid reflux, also called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or also often called reflux of stomach acid. This can occur in infants as well as older children.

How does the reflux process occur? Reflux occurs when the muscle loop between the esophagus and the stomach is not functioning optimally, so the stomach acid and food from the stomach returns to the esophagus. Generally, the function of a muscle ring that functions like a valve in the lower esophagus is not perfect. The good news, the valve will usually work perfectly from the age of 4-5 months to the age of one year. At that moment, the vomiting experienced by the baby will stop
