Calling fellow reflux mothers... Consultant has recommended that lil one is upright as much as possible. I carr him most of the time as he isnt very happy in a sling but consultant a good quality bouncy chair. We have one but baby son is nowhere near as uPright as he needs to be?

Any ideas would be greatly apprciated.

Sorry to move off the subject slightly here, but if you say your baby isn't happy in the sling, its more than likely that the sling is not comfortable or properly fitted. There is a great sling library and consultation resource in the area - http://southlondonslings.com/

Might be worth checking the sling situation out, as the benefits of close contact are great for reflux babies as I understand it.

Good luck.

We got an expensive one which he didn't like so went to tesco at Surrey quays and picked up a cheap one which loved and still uses. He spends a lot of time now in his jumperoo (he has a serious obsession with it! Haha) as he is standing the whole time, Isaac is a bit young for that yet but might be something to get later on. X
we used two fisherprice ones (one upstairs and one downstairs) and found he was happy with that...slings, we ahd a baby bjorn to start with, then switched to a beco gemini, which is similar in style so v easy to use plus upright, quite dear but you can look out for special offers and the resale value will be good. Also can be hired from the slumberoo website if you want to try before you buy.

Not reflux but our 3 month old baby hates being on his back (very windy baby) so we use the following a lot:


- baby Bjorn bouncy chair

- wrap sling (really calms him down - we have the tricote one but lots of brands available)

- car seat

- goi goi pillow for pram and cotbed


Hope it gets better

    • Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.
    • Yes, but the context is important and the reason.
    • That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in. 
    • TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
