Summary
Many babies are fussy and spit up milk, and in recent years, it has become common for them to be diagnosed with reflux and medicated with antacids, thickeners, and acid suppressants. However, research tells us that reflux is normal in young babies and that many of the symptoms associated with it may in fact be misunderstood baby behaviors rather than clinical symptoms of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GORD).
In Why Infant Reflux Matters, Carol Smyth provides a simple and practical guide to understanding reflux that will help you avoid unnecessary medication if a simple change in feeding technique or care can help reduce your baby's symptoms. She explains what reflux is, why it happens, the difference between reflux and GORD, the role of stomach acid, and what research tells us about treatment. The audiobook also explores the symptoms commonly attributed to reflux and looks at whether they might have other causes and includes a plan you can work through for your individual baby to help you make informed decisions about their care.

Good
another must read in the series. I particularly loved the focus on biological norms and how they clash with WEIRD culture.

Wish I’d had this info earlier
I wish I would have had this information earlier. You’d expect experts would give you some background information or context, when you talk to them about reflux, but somehow we never got a full picture until reading this book. Health professionals just always seems to say everything (baby upsetting about reflux, constipation with breastfeeding etc) is “normal”, so glad I gave this a listen so I could make up my own mind/ make informed decisions.
