Many young babies (about 65%) regurgitate a small amount of milk occasionally, especially when burping after meals. This “spitting up” is normal. Others vomit a large portion of every feeding. The severity of the reflux itself is not what matters. Reflux only becomes a problem when the child is showing signs of complications. When babies develop complications they are said to have Gastroesophageal Reflux DISEASE or GERD.
