BLW and reflux?
I asked a question about my daughter's weight gain,

We switched pediatricians and I'm very happy with the one we're seeing now. We did see a GI specialist and my daughter has mild reflux that is a contributing factor to her slow gain.
I love the idea of BLW and skipping cereals, but I'm concerned with how very little they get into their bellies for the first few months. I'm worried she'll continue to gain slowly with so little to hold the milk down. Can I still do this or should I just scrap the idea?

Re: BLW and reflux?
I asked a similar question about a month ago. I think the basic consensus was cereal didn't need to be done. (I actually asked a bunch of questions about BLW))

Good luck. We have yet to really start solids since we are trying to figure out LO's allergies first.
Have you tried cereal yet? Did it help with the reflux?
I found the book "Colic Solved"' by Bryan Vartabedian, to be extremely helpful.
If your LO has reflux and trouble gaining weight, you need to do what works. For my reflux baby, cereal only aggravated her underlying milk intolerance. With DS, we did total BLW.
