One mother’s experience – one midwife’s lesson

Abstract:

Until recently reflux was one of those issues that I brushed off as an “overused label” that anxious parents gave to their fussy babies. It was of no interest to me as a midwife. Karma has a way of making you sit up and take notice. Since the birth of my 6th child I have ridden the “reflux rollercoaster” and had to embrace and confront my ignorance of this condition. Over the past year I have come to realise how traumatic having a reflux baby can be for parents and that reflux is a midwifery issue.
