The Reflux Mom's Guidebook to Coping with Fussy Babies and Sleepless Nights

Annapolis, MD, August 07, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Reflux Mom and author Jan Gambino (www.refluxmom.com) has written a comprehensive book on parenting a baby or child with reflux, Reflux 101: A Parent’s Guide to Gastroesophageal Reflux ($16.95, Lulu). Reflux 101 is written for parents and caregivers by a veteran parent who raised two children with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and later offered support and guidance to hundreds of parents as associate director of a non profit patient support organization.

“This is the book I longed for when my children were struggling with reflux.” says Jan Gambino. “It doesn’t matter if you are an MD or a PhD, caring for a baby or child with reflux tests the patience and skill of any parent.”

Fussing, crying, spit up and sleepless night are common symptoms of reflux causing parents stress and anxiety. Older children may experience heartburn, picky eating and behavioral/developmental issues. Parents caring for an infant or child need information, support and hope to guide them through the journey from diagnosis to treatment. Reflux 101 covers all aspects of caring for an infant or child with reflux from birth to age 12. Stories and vignettes combined with parent tested strategies make this a practical, must have book for parents.
