All parents and carers of infants and children with reflux disease understand that their babies are unsettled, unhappy, overtired, uncomfortable and quite simply in pain. REFLUX REALITY: A Guide for Families will fast become your trusted companion to managing your child’s condition. Filled with practical tips and information, it demystifies this childhood disease to arm you with the knowledge you need to care for your child and enhance your interactions with medical professionals. Written by a registered nurse and mother of reflux babies, Reflux Reality draws on Glenda Blanch’s experience along with the experience of health professionals and parents of reflux infants to empower you in managing your child’s condition.
REFLUX REALITY: A Guide for Families was released by Glenda Blanch in association with RISA Inc in 2010 after it became obvious there was a real need in the community for more readily available, accurate information on gastro-oesophageal reflux and its management. This second edition, released exclusively in e-book format includes new content in a convenient and affordable format.
