I think a lot of us feel that we've had the run around one way or another from various doctors and health professionals, and it seems that as common as reflux is that many doctors don't know an awful lot about it.
So... What have you learned that you wish you had been told? For me the answer would be just about EVERYTHING! Whittling it down though, I think that knowing how to give the meds properly and learning about cows milk intolerance were key things (gotta love the internet). And also the reassurance that it is NOT normal to dread feeds or to have a poor child that screams bloody murder and suffers dreadfully with attempts to drink. Also that just because a baby has not progressed to FTT and manages to be on the chubby side (God only knows how that happened; I put the credit on expressing so frequently so lots of hind milk) does not mean that the whole thing is in your head.
What does every one else think?
