Dear Dr. Laura,
My son is 3 months old and everyone keeps telling me that I spoil him. Even my son's gastroenterologist thinks I spoil him too much.
My son has really bad acid reflux. Is it really possible to give an infant too much attention? If it is, then what's the right amount? What's the worst that could happen?
During a major bout of heartburn accompanied with acid reflux during my second pregnancy, I became pretty crafty about coming up with dinners that wouldn't leave my chest feeling like an open pit of lava. Read on and learn how you can eat well during pregnancy, without dying from heartburn.
When my newborn daughter Mary started having screaming fits at 7 weeks, everyone told me it was "colic." It was infuriating how quick people were to dismiss my mother's instinct that something was wrong. I was a new mother and she was a tiny newborn and this, they told me, is what newborns do. But it wasn't, and I knew it.
Aaah, major acid reflux going on right now. I'm drinking some warm milk and honey, let's hope that helps. It usually does. I thought about waking up poor Tim to make me some but then decided to let him sleep. He works hard enough as it is!
