Feedback On My Telephone Consultations

I cannot thank you enough for your advice. I stopped Olivia's Domperidone and guess what, within hours her screaming after feeding had stopped, no more abdominal cramps, face pulling and tummy thumping ! I eventually persuaded my GP to prescribe Losec MUPS and are using half a tablet twice a day + the Rantidine. At the moment, this seems to be controlling her symptoms. I cannot believe what a difference this has made. I have a very happy baby, who is so contented and out of discomfort. She now has a good sleeping pattern (naps throughout the day and all the way through the night) She does have occasional acid regurgitation but at least this is manageable. I feel now I can actually enjoy being a mum. I can't put into words how much your input has changed our lives for the better. All the Docs and Consultants we've seen never mentioned a possible problem with the Domperidone or the issue with lifespan of Omperazole liquid. p.s I love your book , the section on reflux is so helpful.

I am a GP and a mum of 2 children who both suffered from reflux as babies. I approached Alison for help with both of my children and I found her to be extremely knowledgable on the subject of gastroesophageal reflux in babies. Although she is obviously not able to prescribe, her knowledge of the various reflux medications and specialist milks is accurate and up to date, and she has particular expertise in advising how to prepare and administer the various medications (once they have been prescribed by a GP or specialist). I have subsequently passed on her tips on administering these medicines to young babies to some of my own patients. Reflux is a condition that is stressful for the whole family, and Alison's support and advice was invaluable in helping getting us through some hard times. I'm sure she has helped countless others. I have always found her to be extremely professional in her work. Dr Amy MorrisRe: Telephone Consultations

Ryleigh continues to sleep really well, sometimes even going until 6.15am or 6.30am, and also having proper daytime sleeps. We are still in disbelief that she may have sorted herself out for good, it's made such a difference to all our lives, so keeping our fingers crossed! Thank you again for all your help, it was a real comfort even just to have someone to speak to who understands. Best wishes Kate Telephone Consultation TestimonialRe: Telephone Consultations

Your advice was literally life changing! Allegra is very happy and chilled (aside from the odd tantrum but they are blessedly few - hopefully they will stay that way...). I will certainly be calling on you in the future for advice. As an aside - I picked up a few of my old baby books yesterday and was truly horrified by the truly awful advice they give. My favorite bad bit of advice was as follows "now your baby is 14 weeks you should be aiming for five hour of uninterrupted sleep a night but your baby is far too young to be sleeping through for some months yet". Thanks to you Alison Allegra now clocks 11-12 hours a night. Many thanksCatherineRe: Telephone Consultations
