Breastfeeding
(My thoughts and experience about breastfeeding a baby with gastric reflux.)
Gem was my third child, but the first with diagnosed treated severe GORD. I breastfed my first two children until age 14 months, and because of the risk of allergies in my family didn’t give them food that contained cow’s milk until they were one years old. (Allergy prevention guidelines were different over 20 years ago!)
