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

    • Hello.  A parcel for someone at 64B Blenheim Grove has been dumped at my address.  If anyone from 64B is in this forum, please get in touch!
    • CPR Dave is anti-dogs. Each to their own  I think my dog has perhaps grown a bit less nervy about the fireworks in the last few weeks, interestingly. Our last dog had no problems with them until he reached old age, when he became petrified.  CPR Dave - it's not just sounds of the metropolis they hate, mine collapses in fear when he hears thunder too 
    • There's quite a difference between going for a run around the footpaths and trying to sit quietly for an afternoon in a wide, grassy area and enjoying the peace & nature. The other two grassy areas in the park are used for sports, and both had barriered trackway running through them. The Parkrun had to be cancelled for at least three weeks, iirc. I'm concerned by your continued reference to "the rye" - the event is held in the park, not on the rye (common). There is a big difference, despite the organisers and council artificially amalgamating the whole area when trying to convince everyone that it's only a small area that is closed off. The railings & gates enclosing the park are a big clue...
    • So have you cancelled your contract with InPost / Yodel now? If so, that's probably caused hundreds of parcels to be stuck in limbo, as they've said to me before that they can't redirect them to a different store. I have a parcel that was refused by you twice, the last time on 5/12, and since then there's been no updates, despite me calling them 3 times. They just say it's being investigated, but if they now can't physically deliver to you then that is obviously the issue. So much for shopping for Christmas presents early, looks like I'll never get them now.
