Understanding and managing infant reflux - symptom 4 - not settling alone.
This is one of those symptoms that seem to nearly break parents. It can be very overwhelming.
⭐ Biologically and physiological babies are wired to be on us from birth till about 6-9 months.
⭐ They cannot survive without us. Being far away can cause babies to cry with stress and anxiety over being left. They don't know that you can see/ hear them on a monitor or that they're in the safest crib money can by. They just know the warmth and comfort of their mother or caregiver
⭐ Laying on their backs is the safest way for them to sleep. This is because it keeps their arousal state high, preventing them from sleeping too deeply. This is great at keeping them safe, and also keeping them feeding throughout the night and day.
⭐ Always plan to co-sleep safely then to accidentally co-sleep. That is where the danger is. has great advice on all things baby sleep
⭐ Lean on your village. Ask for help. Reach out for support.
