My baby has reflux – how can using a sling help?

Keeping a baby upright rather than lying on the back can help stop the acid refluxing and vomiting that babies with reflux are prone to. We have survived two babies with pretty severe reflux and can say that as a whole these babies prefer to be carried in an upright carrying position (achieved with a carrier like the Wilkinet, or a wraparound style carrier). As soon as the baby has settled after a feed you can put them in the sling. From personal experience I can recommend a fleece wraparound for their water repellant properties!
