We had the same issue with Midwife, "she's just hungry, keep feeding her"
But when we finally got diagnosed with Reflux by Paed he said overfeeding a reflux baby is the worst thing you can do because feeding stimulates the stomach acid in anticipation of digestion which in turn makes the reflux worse. doh ! Starve him, that's the answer.
Some midwives seem very aware of Reflux issues and some are ignorant or non-believers.....
Glad to here things have settled somewhat.

"djb"
You are perhaps confusing my criticism of Russell's post as implicit support for Michael Laws et al.. Wrong.
I'm interested in hearing everyone's ideas for potential "solutions" to the problem.
What I don't like is the way this issue just becomes a talkfest with no real action. I think Steve Braunias may feel the same judging from his interview with Cindy Kiro in the weekend paper.
I hear you about the media and selling papers, but I'd like to think I'm smart enough to see through that, the number and gravity of cases being reported does make me feel this is more than some sort of media "beat-up" (excuse the poor taste pun)
For what it's worth, I think at least part of the "solution" may lie somewhere in the attitudes of NZ society to alcohol, easy access to cheap booze, licensing laws, binge drinking, advertising etc. etc.

OK then, what's the answer to the problem Russell ?
I read the post expecting the ending to lay out your solution to the problem.
In the end it's just a rant attacking every right leaning article you read in the papers over the weekend.

Surely if it's a boy it has to be Carl Robert in honour of the legend ?
Congrats to you both, get some sleep now while you can..
