Mollie just turned 4 weeks old...she shares reflux with her "Amma" (me, her grandmother)

When Mollie was born we were told that she had a "precipitous birth" -- good for my daughter, bad for the baby. She wasn't in the birth canal long enough to get rid of all the "goop" that was in her various tubes. One of the consequences happens to be reflux.

I have a 6 week old son who was diagnosed with silent reflux...

He doesn't spit up much, although occasionally, but he gets a sour look on his face and will scream at the drop of a hat as the acid comes up.
