Our Story - Two Moms - Three Reflux Babies

Troy Broussard summarized so well the life we lived with our reflux babies. We will be posting excerpts from his article:

It is said that necessity is the mother of invention, but, for one Kenner, LA mom, the motivation that led to the creation of a device that would ultimately bring comfort to thousands of infants was not so much necessity, as it was love. From the beginning, Terry Jarrett struggled with the challenges that her newborn son, Keith, constantly faced. “I could not put him down,” Jarrett recalls. “Formula would come out of his nose and mouth as he choked. He was inconsolable. The only time he seemed to find relief was when I held him, which was ten to twelve hours every day.”
