An Upper GI Series for a baby typically involves the child drinking a contrast material, usually barium, which helps to visualize the gastrointestinal tract on X-ray images. The procedure is performed in a specialized radiology department, where the baby may be positioned in different ways to capture comprehensive images of the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. Parents may be asked to hold or support the baby during the procedure to help keep them calm and still. The entire process is usually quick, and the medical team ensures the baby's comfort and safety throughout.
