Excellent book for parents of refluxers especially those who crave sleep!!!
Following a recent article in the Telegraph I have just purchased a copy of "The Sensational Baby Sleep Plan" it is written by Alison Scott-Wright who is a maternity nurse with special interest and knowledge in sleep and reflux. She has been campaigning for 10 years to push for more training for GP's and HV's in reflux and having read the book she has answered all the questions I have always wanted to know and many I have seen people ask on this site including, what happens in reflux, how each medication works and how to administer them and most importantly for me a plan for getting your baby to sleep through the night despite their reflux.
I also spoke to Alison in person as she works with families in person and via telephone consultations to help parents take control of their children's reflux and help with sleep issues. She was so helpful and I now realise that some of the behaviours I thought a bit strange are all signs of stress and sleep deprevation. She even gives a chapter on weaning and which foods to try or avoid.
Having spoke to Alison she is trying to get the NHS to commission her to write an information leaflet for GP's and HV's and any support she has from parents would all help the cause so she asks that as many people as possible find the telegraph article on the web and add a comment to support it as it may lead to further articles which will all help to raise awareness.
I cannot stress enough how glad I am that I purchased this book, it is the best £10 i've ever spent!
Look for it on the web, and if you need anymore info let me know.

Cheers both, I found one this morning on amazon, not sure if it going to be any use now,,, My daughter is 18 months old, sleeps in her cot from 9/10pm ish till around 3pm ish then wakes and shouts for me. She then gets inbetween me and my husband and straight back to sleep till I wake her at 7.30am... Yeah I would love her to sleep all night in her own bed, but after what we had before I really dont mind.
She's fully weaned on to our foods, but is intolarent to wheat/gluten and dairy.
Her reflux is pretty much under control now with a little help from a small amount of medication.
She is still sleeping in my room at the mo as she is on a apneor pad monitor as she use to stop breathing when smaller, so im scared to move her out.
Not sure what the book could offer me,,,,? Thought it would be a good book to ready.

He was doing really well and we were getting full nights sleep but then his older brother picked up a really bad cold at nursery that we all now have and I haven't felt this ill in years so Harry now has a bad cough which is keeping him awake but it is still not as bad as before we started which is promising so I will ride it out until he gets over it and then see how we go.
How is things with you?

Good, just hope he gets over that cold for you and he gets back on track. James is doing okay. He still wakes once or twice in the night but usually just groans a bit and goes back to sleep without me even getting out of bed. Fingers crossed it stays that way :)
