Publisher's Synopsis
"Reflux Reality: A Guide for Families" offers comprehensive advice and practical guidelines and support. It is the essential book for any family with a baby or child that suffers from reflux. 'Having barely existed through reflux with both of our boys when they were babies, I know first hand how challenging those days can be. How much more supported I would have felt if I had had a book like this.' - Felicity Chapman, Founder and Director, Mothers Be Heard. The author Glenda Blanch is the mother to three children who have all suffered reflux and its complications. She has experience as a registered nurse and so armed with both medical knowledge and life experience she is the ideal person to what written this book. She has an insight into the medical aspects of the condition, knows what parents want and need to know and conveys the information in a language that is easy to understand. She has also worked tirelessly for the Reflux Infants Support Association Inc for many years. It can be overwhelming for the parents of a child who suffers from reflux, although many people do not understand this. They may think reflux is normal or even trivial or may think it is just a ' bit of vomiting' or a 'behavioural issue'. Unfortunately, reflux can range in severity enormously, and families can suffer from extreme stress as a result of having a child with reflux. The lack of understanding of the illness and its associated issues means that many families do not receive the support they need.
