Conditions that
affect feeding
Even with the best nutrition and care, many infants experience feeding conditions that can affect their everyday feeding habits in the first year of life. For some conditions, like cow’s milk allergy, these challenges can continue into the toddler years and may still require support.
Learn more about the possible causes and discover helpful tips for managing these conditions.
Cow’s milk
protein allergy
Cow’s milk protein allergy is a common food allergy in babies, and can cause varied symptoms including rash, digestive problems, and a failure to thrive.
Reflux
Reflux happens when a baby’s stomach contents escape back up into their oesophagus (food pipe) and into their mouth. Reflux usually happens soon after a feed, and can cause babies to “spit up” milk or vomit.
Colic
Colic is a term used to describe excessive, uncontrollable crying or fussing in babies
who are otherwise healthy and well fed.
Constipation
Formula-fed babies are more prone to
constipation, which may cause painful
bowel movements and distress.
Hungry baby
Babies who wake up often due to hunger may be
at risk of overfeeding and excessive weight gain.
