Thanks, Ann, for your response. Unfortunately, here in the US we live in a
pill-popping society where going to the doctor is often rewarded with a
prescription for a pill that can be a magic bullet for whatever ails you. I
also deal with many babies who are on meds for GERD. In addition, I speak
with too many moms who are taking fenugreek, mothers milk tea, reglan, etc
but not breastfeeding and/or pumping enough for those things to make a
difference. Taking a pill is certainly much easier than working hard on
breastfeeding or finding the time to pump.
I would welcome any research that is done on the relationship between
overfeeding (breastmilk and/or formula) and GERD. I also think that we are
seeing many babies, both premature and full-term, with digestive
disturbances because of mixed feedings. And these babies are also being
diagnosed with GERD.
