Infant reflux and feeding observation diary
Record feeds, spit-up, comfort and wet diapers to discuss with your baby’s clinician. This organizer cannot diagnose reflux disease, calculate feeding needs or confirm that home care is safe.
Use these notes with your child’s clinician. This tool does not diagnose illness, prescribe treatment or confirm that home care is safe.
Get emergency medical help
Get emergency assessment now for green vomit, blood or coffee-ground material in vomit, or vomiting with a swollen belly or severe pain. Call local emergency services for severe breathing difficulty, blue or grey lips, collapse, or a baby who is difficult to wake.
Get urgent medical advice
Seek urgent medical advice for forceful or projectile vomiting, especially in a young infant; poor feeding, repeated feeding refusal, swallowing difficulty, fewer wet diapers, a very dry mouth, unusual sleepiness, blood in stool, poor weight gain or worsening symptoms. A baby younger than 3 months with a temperature of 38°C (100.4°F) or higher needs urgent assessment. Do not label these signs as ordinary reflux.

Care reminders
- Small, effortless spit-ups often improve as babies grow. Feeding, comfort and growth matter more than how large a wet patch looks; a diary cannot establish that reflux is harmless.
- Crying, back arching or waking alone does not prove acid pain or reflux disease. Persistent distress, feeding difficulty or poor growth needs assessment for reflux and other possible causes.
- Record feeds, the timing and appearance of spit-up, comfort and wet diapers, then share the pattern with the clinician. Arrange review if symptoms persist, feeding becomes difficult or growth is a concern. This diary does not diagnose reflux disease, measure retained milk or confirm hydration or safety at home.
