I may not have read your post thoroughly enough and for that I apologize.

The comments I wrote were based on a very recent reflux book called “Colic Solved” this book was written by a well respected pediatric gastroenterologist who has dedicated his career to helping babies with reflux. In his book he main recommendations for those babies who do not have very serious reflux is to position the baby on the left side or stomach to stop acid moving into the esophagus, if you already wrote that your baby had LES problems (or had I read it properly) then I would not have bothered with that advice.

I know my advice is not dangerous, as is the advice of the author of that book who is one of the worlds most respected authorities on the subject. Again had I read your post properly I may not have commented, however since I cannot find the link now, I really can't say for sure if I would change it.

Did you actually read the post or are you just googling the words “crying baby” and leaving you inane, unhelpful comments on every post you come across that mentions a crying baby as a way of publicising your book.

I now know this book is something I shall tell everyone I know NOT to buy as it is probably as useless as the advice you left for me.

1) My baby had reflux NOT colic

2) This was confirmed by a medical professional, someone who took the time to examine the baby and listed to what the symptoms were. This patrician was not an internet twit with a pre-determined agenda to convince people that lots of babies have colic in order to flog copies of their stupid book.

3)Your advice in this instance is useless. Her reflux was caused by her lower esophageal sphincter not being formed. Now, can you tell me how re-positioning after feeding could have helped her when PART OF HER STOMACH WAS MISSING AND THIS CAUSED HER PROBLEMS?? Well? How could re-positioning stop stomach acid rising up her asosophus and burning her? How could a feeding pillow stop her throwing up every drop she swallowed?

4) I am glad to say that your advice is out of date (Does the fact my post was written in 2006 give you any hints???)

5) However, that does not stop it from being downright dangerous. I hope your book bombs out of existence as you and it deserve to.
