What sort of carrier have you got?

DD2 (now 9 months) spent most of her time in a Mei Tai especially after feeds so that she could be upright and not projectile vomit quite so much. I unfortunately wasn't able to get her into a back carry during the time her reflux was worst as she would be guaranteed to spew down the back of my neck (noice!!), so it meant tasks such as cooking were not very possible when I had to carry her. In any case I found babyearing invaluable with a reflux baby (didn't do it as much with DD1, but her reflux only lasted 3 months) especially with chasing after a toddler - it meant I didn't have time to be sitting around holding DD2 upright after every feed. While DD2's reflux is pretty much over (she still vomits occasionally - when you least expect it!), she still spend a lot of time in the mei tai as she needs either movement or breastfeeding to fall asleep.... speaking of which she's having her afternoon strapped to the front of me right now!!
