About this episode
I got to sit down with Áine, the Baby Reflux Lady - a leading holistic expert in infant reflux, colic, and digestive discomfort. Drawing from her background in Traditional Chinese Medicine, nutrition, and her own journey as a mom of two babies with severe reflux, Áine shares why she refuses to accept the outdated idea that “this is just how babies are.”We dive deep into the real signs of reflux (it’s not just spitting up!), why so many parents feel dismissed by “they’ll grow out of it,” and how listening to your instincts can change everything. Áine explains the importance of looking at the whole baby, uncovering root causes instead of just managing symptoms, and shares practical steps for overwhelmed moms - from what pregnant mamas can watch for to simple ways to support your nervous system when things feel heavy.If you’ve ever been told your baby’s discomfort is normal, this episode will give you permission to trust yourself and know there is another way. Whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or deep in the thick of sleepless nights and constant crying, Áine’s wisdom offers real hope and clear direction.More from Áine The Baby Reflux Lady:Visit https://www.thebabyrefluxlady.co.uk/ Follow Áine on Instagram: @babyrefluxlady and FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/theBabyRefluxLady Helpful Timestamps:00:00 Meet Áine The Baby Reflux Lady06:43 Pregnancy Prep and Early Red Flags10:27 Calming Yourself to Calm Baby14:24 Clear Signs It’s Reflux17:34 Smelly Gas and Gut Discomfort20:45 Breastmilk, Carbs And Stress27:35 Programs And Support Options29:58 Fast Results Story32:08 Where To Find ÁineJoin The Calm Labor Birth Bundle - everything you need from bump to baby
