Web Help
There are many forums out there started by parents who feel just as we do. It’s helpful to “talk” to others who are going through exactly what you are. To see a list of great forums and chat sites about reflux go to our useful links or Support Network pages. We sponsor a community called Little Refluxers which concentrates on Infant reflux in the UK.

Books and Articles
There are several books that are written by parents of babies with Reflux. Life on the Reflux Roller Coaster by Roni MacLean and Jean McNeil, and Acid Reflux Infants & Children by Tracy and Mike Davenport are two worth mentioning.

Recruit friends, grandparents, extended family or trusted neighbours, including older responsible kids to come hold the baby or entertain your older children while you take naps or complete tasks. It’s important for you to have some time to regroup both physically and mentally. Even just 10 – 20 minutes of personal time and a shower can totally change your frame of mind.

Change of Scenery
If you feel completely overwhelmed just thinking about leaving the house then you need to get out! Don’t worry that you will probably have sick on your shirt or your baby. People understand that babies are sicky. Learning to manage day-to-day activities with a baby with Reflux can also do wonders in recovering any lost self-confidence you may have suffered. Just be sure to pack enough spare clothing, bibs and burp cloths.
