Totally agree. If she's crying from the reflux that isn't being "naughty" or "demanding" - that's a child who requires care. "Naughty" is when you go in the room and they chuckle at you want to be played with.
A friend had her daughter on some medication and was constantly maxxed out on the dosage but it helped. Alot of first time Mums want to avoid pharmaceuticals because who wants a drugged out baby? but sometimes drugs are necessary. And sometimes the homeopathic treatment is the answer.
I had a fabulous GP who would tell me that if there was a guy in leopard skin loin cloth and bone through his nose but he could get a baby to sleep then she'd say go for it.
I spent 18 months squirting foul antibiotics and iron formula down my girls throat but it did the trick and beat having midnight trips to the hospital and sitting in the "abuse observation" cubicle that they reserve for cases like hers. I cared more than she did - she preferred the "night time doctor" to the "day time doctor" because the hospital gave her lollipops and iceblocks!
