Primary prevention

It is recommended that infants are not overfed or underfed. Infants should be breastfed if possible.[17][18] Feeding the infant in a semi-upright position can prevent aerophagia, and the infant should be adequately burped after each feeding.

Parental smoking should be strongly discouraged, and parents should be advised not to over-stimulate the infant.[26]
