About the Author
Tracy Davenport is an advocate for parents and caregivers of chronically ill children. Tracy has two children, one of which suffers from severe gastroespogheal reflux disease. The obstacles Tracy faced in finding treatment for her son and the emotional rollercoaster of having a baby with reflux led her and her husband to write her first book, Making Life Better for a Baby with Acid Reflux. In addition to her advocacy work, Tracy is founding director of the award winning camp Summer Days Math and Science Camp for Girls, an educational experience created for young women interested in math and science. She is also pursuing a doctorate degree in Human Development and Family Studies. Dr. Mike Davenport is an educator, professional coach, and speaker. He consults around the country on the topics of sports and coaching. Mike has written several books, including the best selling rowing book The Nuts and Bolts Guide to Rigging. He focused on this book to bring up-to-date help to parents with children afflicted with acid reflux.

no meat,

This review is from: Making Life Better for a Child with Acid Reflux (Paperback)
There is very little information here. 80% waste of time, 20% meat. Only for people who don't know how to do a google search (because this book will tell you how to do that). Having a child with reflux doesn't allow me enough time to filter through the self-help blather that is this book. I feel for all parents of reflux children, but please, give me something that I can use.

Easily Digestible Advice On An Indigestible Topic,
By john cunningham "JC" (Boston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making Life Better for a Child with Acid Reflux (Paperback)
I have had ulcers and acid reflux and taken medication for both for many years. In this book, I found more useful information on those problems than I ever got from my personal physicians. While the book utilizes contributions from medical professionals, it does not suffer from techno-speak and has useful charts and graphs to break information into easily digestible bits (for those who want to avoid mental reflux too). The chapters about the effects on parents are obviously written as a labor of love from the point of view of parents who have actually coped with this. As a matter of full disclosure, I know the authors - and I can tell you they really want to help other people who have children with the same problems they've encountered with severe acid reflux issues. This book represents years of work (on the problem and on the book) and the authors sought out the help and feedback of an incredible array of profesionals (and it shows). You don't often see authors put their own email addresses in the front of a book in case you want more info from them - shows a certain dedication to the topic. Hope this is helpful to others.

A worthless book,
By Nina (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making Life Better for a Child with Acid Reflux (Paperback)
There is almost no information in this book that you can't find on the internet. Most of the "information" is generic.
