My baby has reflux. Can Actually Sleeping still help?
Parents in this video had babies with reflux, preemies, triplets and a baby who had surgery. They describe plans written around their baby and sleep that held through vaccines and recovery. Reflux itself is for your pediatrician to diagnose and manage. What Actually Sleeping works on is the sleep: a plan written for your baby by Dr. Sam, coaching before night one and daily 1:1 check-ins.
What parents who had this worry say
“He couldn’t sleep without being held. He needed to be held upright because he has reflux, so that was another huge thing for us.”
“Last night, he slept for eleven hours.”
“Jayce had surgery, and we were supported through that, and he didn’t regress at all. He continued to sleep through the night even after having surgery.”
“He started sleeping through the night about ten to eleven weeks, and he’s been consistently sleeping through the night, through vaccines, through any small little hiccups that we had.”
“Because every single baby is truly unique.”
“It has been life changing.”
Why parents of babies with reflux hold back
When a baby has reflux, arrived early or has a medical history, parents are understandably careful. They may be holding their baby upright for hours, or watching closely after a procedure. A generic sleep method written for an average baby does not account for any of that.
The parents in this video were in that position. What they describe is a plan written around their own baby.
How Actually Sleeping works alongside your pediatrician
Reflux and any other medical condition are for your pediatrician to diagnose and manage, and their guidance comes first, including on feeding and safe sleep. Actually Sleeping does not treat reflux. What Dr. Sam works on is the sleep itself: she writes a plan for your baby that takes their history into account, with bootcamp-style coaching before night one and daily 1:1 check-ins that adjust it as your baby responds. Naps are coached until solid.
The families here range from a single baby with reflux to triplets, and from a baby who needed to be held upright to a baby who had surgery partway through. One parent, a feeding specialist who works with infants herself, says it is priceless to get a full night’s sleep. Each family had a plan written for that baby by Actually Sleeping.
