Acid Reflux = Big Baby???

[Tashie D]

Hey Cherii,

Yep, I know nearly everyone who has had constant reflux has had a baby with a lot of hair on it's head.

Or, you could just be unlucky. Thankfully my reflux hasn't been too bad with my pregnancies and my boys where both bold!!

Good luck in the coming weeks to your first little treasure.

there was a study that supported the reflux= hairy baby.

but i never heard of the reflux= big baby

I don't think the big baby one is true, I had horrible reflux with my dd and she was average size born. But she did have heaps of hair- on her head her arms her thighs her back...she was a little gorilla, LOL. I have it again this time too and I expect a hairy baby again!
I have read studies about the hairy thing though that it has been proven to some degree (not every time) and its due to some hormone or enzyme or something that is created when babies have lots of hair! So maybe not so much of a wives tale after all??

Well I had it too - but Izzy was 4kgs, 8lb 13oz, and pretty bald!!! I was expecting a head full of hair! Good luck with it all - not long to go!

Ok I really thought Old Wives Tale..... now I think I'm gonna have an ape baby - oh well she will take after her dad then

ya dag!

I aways get the worst reflux, every time. I have to sleep sitting up for the last 3 weeks or so. None of my bubs were over 8pounds, and all practically bald....
