Alexandra Rădescu, Baby Reflux Fairy The FIRST holistic reflux specialist in Romania
I’m a journalist, a holistic infant reflux specialist (international certification), a member of the International Institute for Complementary Therapists, and mom to Sebastian and Anne-Marie.
Every baby is unique, every journey is unique!
Since I became a mother, I have never stopped learning or researching, wanting to gather as much information as I could. I knew it was the only way to truly take responsibility for my child, to make informed decisions, and not just try things on him because that’s what I was told.
This burning wish was born in a moment of despair, when my first child was suffering terribly and no one was helping me discover the CAUSE so I could truly help him. I didn’t just want prescriptions and treatments that only cover up symptoms. I felt he wasn’t getting the help he needed, and that motivated me enormously.
When my second child arrived, the motivation became even stronger, because she was also suffering from gastroesophageal reflux. Only this time I was able to help her quickly, because I already had a lot of knowledge. That was the moment I felt Life was trying to tell me something, that I hadn’t been given these challenges for nothing. It made me determined to do everything I could to help other families too.
With everything I lived through firsthand, seeing how hard and overwhelming life with a reflux baby can be and how hard it is to find the support you need, I decided to take an internationally accredited course to become a holistic reflux specialist for babies and children. I made this MY MISSION! Because every baby deserves to feel comfortable in their own body and to learn that life is about beauty, not constant suffering.
Reflux is a symptom!
I know, it goes against what you’ve been told so far, namely that reflux is something physiological, normal, a condition, a disease. But it’s completely logical. Reflux is caused by something happening in the body (aerophagia, tension in the body, an immature digestive system, etc.), so it is a symptom.
If we look at the main cause of reflux from the medical system’s perspective (an underdeveloped esophageal sphincter), we would have to consider that all babies are born with low muscle tone, both on the outside (they can’t control their hands, can’t sit up, can’t walk) and on the inside (including the esophageal sphincter, which is also a muscle). If that were the cause of reflux, ALL babies would suffer from reflux. Which isn’t really true, is it?
So I think it’s time to change our perspective and the way we look at our children’s reflux!
I know what you’re going through.
So far you have tried:
- keeping your baby upright for 30 minutes after feeds;
- offering smaller, more frequent feeds;
- changing the milk;
- changing the bottle;
- going on a special diet;
- giving all kinds of drops, syrups or even medication.
And yet nothing seems to work…
You feel:
- stressed;
- overwhelmed;
- unheard;
- misunderstood;
- that no one takes you seriously when you know something is wrong with your little one;
- desperate because you no longer know what else to do to help your baby…
Your relationship:
- seems to be heading in the WRONG direction;
- seems to be falling apart because you’re constantly stressed and focused on your child’s needs, and you can’t give your partner enough attention, not because you don’t want to;
- is suffering because you no longer find time just for the two of you;
- is suffering because it’s just you and the baby most of the time, dad is at work, and when you’re not there 24/7 it’s harder to truly believe that things are this hard and overwhelming…
It means it’s time for us to meet!
DON’T go through this alone! You’re NOT the only one who feels this way, who goes through moments like these, and I promise things can get better!
A holistic perspective on your baby’s situation (when we take a step back and gather all the pieces we need to see the big picture) can TRANSFORM your baby’s life, your life and your whole family’s.
Reflux is NOT normal! And YOU CAN resolve it for your baby. You just need the right information, the right support, and someone who understands exactly what you’re going through!
All my life I have loved children and felt that MY MISSION was to help, I just didn’t know exactly how.
After becoming a mother and facing countless challenges, I truly understood the value of that feeling.
Today, I help babies with reflux move from a life of suffering and discomfort to a life of calm and joy. This way, they can feel comfortable in their own body and focus on growing and developing harmoniously.
