The Power of Story: Personal Accounts From Reflux Parents

Pain into purpose. There is power and healing in sharing one's struggles, and no better channel for us than through parenting blogs.

While I'm never surprised when a mom or dad pours their heart out online about life with a reflux baby or child, I am always inspired by their courage. Why? Because the ugliness of the situation comes with strong doses of guilt and reality. 

We are all too conscious of the fact that we must be grateful to have a baby in our arms, when so many do not. We can't complain about sleeplessness or laundry, when there are far too many families dealing with serious issues, including the most severe cases of infant reflux. 

Then there's the feeling of helplessness and being out of control. We can't find the relief or remedy to help our child who is helpless themselves, and literally sit and suffer in our own way while time passes.

If you've landed here at a point of desperation, please check out the accounts below, for even a bit of a break from the anguish. Save the guilt for another day and realize you aren't alone.

    Yea, I went there. Nearly half of all babies spit up, regularly. Some more, some less, and for many it's just plain scary.

    I'm an overly concerned mom with an overworked washing machine. Learn more about me.
