Since there has been all the discussion about the poor baby being medicated for spitting up (!) I thought people might be interested in a wonderful and informative (and long) post from Maryelle Vonlanthen, a pediatric gastroenterologist who used to be on Lactnet. Unfortunately I only saved it on paper or I'd just post it again. It was posted June 2, 1995 if anyone would like to get the digests for that week (much less volume of mail back then). She gave lots of info on GER, how to treat (what works and what doesn't), whether to treat, and info about meds. It was superb! Becky Krumwiede, RN, IBCLC [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]
