Glad to hear Robert is doing better!!

Is it me or does it seem like reflux is SO common amoung babies these days? Could it be because they are sleeping on backs* (not tummies) now?

Do you mean because they are not sleeping on tummies now?

I think reflux was always there but would just get labeled something else back in the day--a "needy baby," a "difficult temperament," "colic." (Though I think colic does still exist separate from reflux.) I think it's just improved diagnosis, not increased incidence.

I'm glad to hear Robert is doing better, too!

Yes that is what I meant - maybe I should read what I write :-p.
