"I was desperate to start weaning but it was a disaster as my son has a very sensitive tummy.  He is now nearly 11 months old and he is stable on a dairy and wheat free diet with limited variety of other foods.  We did not know how…"

"We too add the water with dissolved tablet to a bit of ellas kitchen pear puree and feed it to my son who is nearly 11 months.   Before this, we used to get it prescribed in a suspension form which has a bitter peppermint taste, but it is…"

"It sounds like your daughter is doing really well for 10 weeks old.  We did not get symptoms under control until about 9 months and my son has still never slept 12 hours!! I think you can only really tell when you start weaning, because my…"

"Apart from the floppy larynx your LR sounds just like mine. I'm currently trying dairy wheat free now and have seen improvements, but I'm holding my breath thinking surely this can't be it, but reading yours gives me hope. The GP…"

"yeah i get told it is common and yet id never heard of it before ad neither has the majority of people i tell. Shes just on gaviscon now, not that i think it helps at all :/ but its only a real problem if she is poorly and when she was teething it…"

"We took at least 2 weeks to see an improvement when first started on omperazole.  Sounds silly, but have you been told about not giving milk straight away after the omperazole?  It ideally needs 1 hour to work, but a 30 mins gap is…"

"Hi Joanna,   I hope you are coping ok.  It is always a bit stressful when you are first given a diagnosis of a condition you know little about.  I would say that the issues we have found with Thomas relating to the larynx problem have…"

"Also meant to say, if you can give a bit more detail about the type of reflux your baby has, and typical floppy larynx symptoms, I will be able to compare notes with my son!"

"Thanks Gillian, will try Facebook. X c"

"Hi Joanna, thanks for posting and yes you are doing it right!  I have not got much time to write just now (got a 3 year old and 9 month old wanting tea shortly, so bit tight on time!) but will try and write some now and then will write again…"

"Hello, I'm new here so hope I'm doing this right! I've also just been told that my 10-week old has a floppy larynx as well as reflux. I'm not really sure what it means and they paediatrician didn't seem to be able to tell…"
