Complications
By Mayo Clinic staffMost cases of infant acid reflux clear up on their own without causing problems for your baby. Rarely, infant acid reflux can lead to poor growth or breathing problems. Some research indicates that babies who have frequent episodes of infant acid reflux may be more likely to develop gastroesophageal reflux disease during later childhood.
