It's the cost issue - as DS is so young he gets free prescriptions so he's prescribed little so the health services stay within budget. That's my "I have worked for the NHS and been involved in drug pleas" side coming out - I'm sure other people would come up with a less political view.

To be fair, the reflux had almost gone until just this week and now it's back with a vengence. DS can sit up unaided, stand with support (that can be non-parental support, like a solid activity arch), feeds sitting on my knee (he dislikes being held horizontal to me) and I'm at a loss with what else to do!

And you're right about my mother, it's just so hard to go from working to keep her happy to doing something that will upset her - I can't cope with the fallout right now.
