Babies should be kept lying on their stomach with their head propped up about 30 degrees. Lying in this position causes the stomach to fall forward, closing the connection between the stomach and the esophagus. Some infants will not lie in this position without crying, and if the baby cries all the time, they fill up their stomach with air, grunt, and strain, which tends to make their reflux worse.

Reflux causes laryngitis and over an extended period of time may lead to cancer. The acid associated with reflux is very caustic to the vocal cords. It comes up the esophagus, burning the delicate tissue of the vocal cords. Chronic reflux can cause damage to the vocal cords. We adapt to this damage (bio-mechanically) with changes in the way we product voice and use our voices. Reflux can actually be an underlying medical problem associated with on going voice problems and vocal injuries.

Swinging is done in a semi upright position which lessens reflux. It also lessens reflux because it helps babies stop crying; crying causes babies to tighten their stomach muscles and reflux more.

As soon as the baby has settled after a feed you can put them in the sling.
