The Baby Reflux Lady’s Survival Guide by Áine Homer
The Baby Reflux Lady Survival Guide is a book written by Aine Homer- an engineer turned holistic health professional, who gained fame when she was able to solve the problem of baby reflux where no one could.
As happens to so many parent, Áine has been given a baby who cries uncontrollably, has no sleep and has a vague diagnosis of reflux with little assistance to help. In a tenacious effort to seek solutions, she fell back on a) her training on Traditional Chinese Medicine and b) in nutrition, to unearth real reasons as to what was the matter with her baby. Then came years of study, clinical experience and thousands of hours spent providing care to families in all parts of the world.
Today, along with her husband, Áine has an online business teaching parents how to discover the root cause of their baby reflux and fix it, instead of bandaging the symptoms. Diploma in Infant Reflux: She is also a trainer to health and maternity professionals offering a Diploma training on how to address infant reflux needs in the health sector.
Her book is full of empathy, practicality and realistic advice to overworked parents who have been told, It is normal or they will grow out of it when deep down they sense that something is not right.
This is not a book on general theories and lines of advice. It is an evidence-based roadmap to clinical experience and because it is a belief that babies do not deserve to live in their inherited bodies when they can be comfortable; parents do not deserve gaps in their understanding.
If your baby cries endlessly, refuses feeds, struggles with sleep, or has been labelled with reflux, colic, or silent reflux, The Baby Reflux Lady’s Survival Guide could change everything.
