Hello  all,
 
Already put this info to use with a mom today. Now I quote from  abstract:

"This  hypothesis proposes that infant GORD is a physiological 
manifestation of  misalignment between biology and culture, and proposes, as a 
corollary, that  if the impact of biocultural factors upon the physiology of 
otherwise well  crying babies is not addressed in the first months of life, 
populations of  infants who cry excessively may be predisposed to GORD after three 
to four  months of age..."
~~~ Comments on how this misalignment predisposes to GORD/GERD after 3-4  
months of age? I feel dense, like I'm missing something obvious...I have  
definitely seen how sleep training forces super-sizing of "allowed, daytime"  
feeds, and that can tip a baby who was coping with some refluxing into GERD, 
and  even once, a baby who began to lose weight after 3 months, after the 
sleep  training, who was not eating at all at night, and was undereating at 
daytime  feeds, like she forgot what it felt like to understand her own  
hunger/satiation... 
 
Peace,
Judy
