Hi. My son has reflux, not the silent kind but the *huge* volumes of vomit kind. I was wet through and stank of sick for his first six months :-( I probably don't have to tell you all how useless the health visitors were through all this... We started weaning at 5.5 months and did a mixture of blw and spooning in food. I am glad we did some spooning because the solidish food stayed down much better than his breastmilk. I had wanted to do solely blw but he couldn't get enough food in. Spooning helped him progress fairly rapidly to getting the majority of his calories and nutrition from food rather than milk, and teaming it up with blw principles helped to get him to feed himself as quickly as possible. We only had the blender out once at the beginning and he very quickly moved from lumpy mash to pieces of food. At 10.5 months I think we have finally beaten the reflux. We have weaned off the omeprazole and he is now seldom sick. He has one breastfeed a day and gets everything else from his food, which he mostly feeds himself. This means I really have to pay attention to his diet to make sure there is enough iron, calcium and other nutrients, but this is far preferable to watching him suffer with the acid. Reflux is horrible for the whole family. It doesn't stop you doing blw but getting the mix right is crucial.
