    I know there are a few posts about this already but they are all a few years old now. My 5 mnth old suffers with reflux and never sleeps for more than a couple of hours. My husband wants to bring him to Jimmy Conroy but ive always been a bit dubious. Saying that im at the point now where i will try anything.
    Has anyone any experience in bringing their babies either to him or someone like that?
    I have tried different formulas...medicine...osteopath etc already

    babies grow out of reflux it just takes time there is no quick fix, a faith healer is crazy imo but good luck if it works

    He takes a couple euro donations..hardly a con man. He has been doing it 50 years and well known in the area

    I guess he has a list of testimonials from cancer sufferers and other sick people he has cured?

    The local drunkard in your town would take a donation too and is well known...still not a reason to introduce a sick child to him!

    Thank you.

    But you think a "faith healer" can stop reflux?

    Kids have reflux, they grow out of it after a few months.. it is frustrating (I know, we tried all the suggestions..)

    Faith healers are a sham. They are up there with Homeopathy, amber necklaces and other snake oils. I cannot believe in 2017 with the amount of information we have available people still buy into this crap.

    No i dont think he will cure reflux. We have him on medication for that and i know he will grow out of it. Its more to see if he will sleep better. This fella is supposed to find 'blockages' etc ...like i said im just interested to see has anyone been to one :)

    Young children have growth spurts which effects their sleep.
    I'm not sure why you want to "cure" things that are normal in babies!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 229 ✭✭LouD2016


    Thanks for turning a simple question into a slanging match. Good old Boards 😂😂

    Go back and tell them it didn't work for them to re-assess.

    First child?

    Why?

    It would explain you and your husband being at a loss over reflux and sleep.

    We had 2 , 3 years apart. I didn't get a nights sleep for nearly 6 years.

    You should have called Jimmy Conroy...He has been doing it 50 years and well known in the area and only takes a couple of euro donations!!:D:D

    Two options, go or don't go. Results the same. Baby grows out of it and is happy out. The old man using his faith super powers won't change anything.

    I have some magic beans that work too. Only a fiver.

    Ok well thanks for the input ... obviously where i live is very backward 😂😂😂

    Nah, Im infertile, I went to Jimmy Conroy to see if he could fix me but no joy...:D

    Lou, I think we've all been there, when we will literally try anything! I think you probably know yourself that it's not going to work. He will grow out of the reflux and hopefully his sleep will improve. There isn't anything a faith healer or other person can do that will help him sleep. I know it's hard when every other child seems to be sleeping though the night, I have a 4 month old and he still feeds twice at night, whereas ny 3 year old was sleeping 12 hours at this stage! It's just one of those things that they will outgrow.

    That said, if he's local to you and non invasive, I can't see the harm in bringing him if you think it might give you peace of mind that you really have tried 'everything'

    Off course they do ;) People tend to fib about how their babies sleep IMO.

    All babies are different, how old is yours for a start? Our guy was a terrible sleeper to start, for the first 6 months he woke every 2-3 hours (he did have very bad reflux) While my wifes sister's (born 3 weeks earlier) would sleep 7-8 hours.

    From 9-10 months our guy was sleeping 7-7 every night and still does at 27 months while her guy is rarely in bed before 9-10 and awake again at 4am.

    But in those first 8 months or so, if anyone asked how he was sleeping (the main question people did) I would always answer... great, not a bother ;)

    I suppose it's the op's decision in the end.

    I think they are being daft, but if someone wants to believe that a 'faith healer' can cure their baby of reflux then so be it.

    Are you saying he got you pregnant?

    How much of a donation did you have to give for that?
