Helping Babies with Restlessness due to Silent Reflux

Does your baby seem unsettled after feeding, struggle with sleep, or prefer to be held upright? Silent reflux might be the cause. Unlike regular reflux, silent reflux doesn’t always include spit-up, making it easy to overlook—but it can cause discomfort, feeding challenges, and sleep disturbances. Babies with Down syndrome may be more prone to reflux due to lower muscle tone affecting digestion.

This flyer helps you recognize the signs of silent reflux and provides simple, soothing techniques to help your baby feel more comfortable. Learn about upright positioning, gentle movement, deep pressure, and sensory strategies that can ease restlessness.
