Story of the fridge door

Fridge doors are supposed to stay closed, they , from what I know have a spring to assist this.

Ours must have broken, know when it changed, the door felt different, wouldn’t open fully and then just wouldn’t stay closed.

Now we’re on fridge door watch as despite the tape it occasionally opens, so in this heatwave our food isn’t lasting that long.

Friday night was spent surfing for integrated fridges, finally found one. Had to be fitted quickly, fortunately so.com fitted the bill.

New fridge coming Wednesday 💕💕

Does your baby have reflux, have you been to the Dr to discuss and not been happy?

Well please follow Aine Homer as she goes into it on what you can do to support your baby.

There. I said it.

Doctors don’t know much about reflux. Or at least most of them.

Even the paediatricians. And also the health visitors.

I know, I know. There’s going to be lots of you reading this thinking “how could you say that?” My doctor helped us? Or… I’m a doctor and I know everything about reflux.

The truth is however that there are far more of you reading this that are thinking “yup. She’s right.”

I’m going to lay this out for you once and for all.

I am not against doctors. They are very clever and very nice people.

Yet they do not know everything. In fact, none of us do.

No-one knows everything about anything.

Not even you about yourself.

And when it comes to reflux, our doctors (in general) really don’t know a lot at all.

And give credit to them, doctors have to know a lot about a lot.

Yet we expect them to know more.

How can we know what we have not learned?

Doctors are taught that reflux is normal. And that it should be medicated using the Stepped Approach (See my stories for info on this).

Most doctors do not see reflux as a symptom, but have been taught that it is a disease.

However reflux is a symptom. Always. It wasn’t my discovery, this is a fact. There is no underlying pathology for reflux, there is always something going on that causes it to happen, it is a symptom.

Our doctors are not supported to ask the five levels of Why. I suspect they don’t even have the time to ask the first level. The guidelines they have to work within are restrictive and prescriptive. Doctors are supposes to follow the guidelines and not go outside of them much.

The ultimate answers you will get from most doctors, paediatricians and health visitors will be one of medication, medication, medication. Yet that is not going to “fix” your baby, because what the medications do does not address the cause of reflux.

I’ve tons of information on this. Head over to my bage to read the info you need to have which includes:
❓summary of NICE guidelines that doctors must follow
❓Answers to your questions on medications
❓What really causes reflux
❓What you can do today to start helping your baby.

Been busy this weekend on a course, furthering my training. Saturday I did level 1 Barre Pilates, today I did level 2.

Just wow, such a strength workout for the legs, great balance too.

Can’t wait to start teaching Barre, it’s going to be amazing, will really make that difference to legs and more.

Want to get your gluts working more, then you just have to do Barre.

Do you feel that talking about pelvic floor issues are a TABOO?

It’s often a subject that we don’t want to admit to having issues with.
