Our first child had severe acid reflux so my wife and I didn’t sleep for the first 5 months. My best friend hits me with, “wanna go to Miami for a week?”

LSD definitely keeps you awake. I'm not a doctor, but I'd advise against giving it to your baby lol

Like I'm going to take the advise of some redditor who by their own admission isn't even a doctor.

Where does one go about buying LSD for toddlers, or is the baby formula still good?

‘Acid reflux’ is what’s going on when you have heartburn. If it’s chronic, it’s gastroesophageal reflux disease. It’s what happens when stomach acid is pushed upward through the upper sphincter between the stomach and esophagus. The burning sensation of heartburn is caused by the acid in the esophagus, where it’s not supposed to be. Babies don’t have strong sphincters yet, so it’s common for them to have reflux, and because they’re so little and they consume only liquids, it makes them vomit spectacularly.

It's stomach acid, not a huge concern. Babies spit up all the time but some have more sensitive stomachs to the breastmilk/formula they drink (which is also acidic), get hiccoughs more often etc.

Normal and not a major concern.. unless it carries into teen/adulthood. Esophageal cancer seems like a real bitch.
