🎉 DOORS OPENING SOON FOR OUR NEXT COURSE, BEGINNING 1ST JULY 2022🎉
Too many families are struggling with infant reflux and dietary problems every day...
Breastfeeding mums are on endless restricted elimination diets that are providing NO consistent results, potentially depleting their own nutritional status and becoming more and more disillusioned with the fact that their baby continues to suffer no matter what they do.
Children and toddlers are developing food aversions that lead to greater risks of malnutrition, obesity and behavioural problems as they grow.
Families are no longer happy places to be, with extreme levels of stress due to the simple lack of explanations and answers.
Parents are doubting their capabilities and relationships are crumbling...
And yet doctors don't have the answers!
It's not good enough.
If you're not fed up of the BULLSHIT medical approach to reflux and determined to do something about it, you may as well leave right here!
Hi! I'm Aine Homer
a.k.a. The Baby Reflux Lady™
I've dedicated the last 8+ years to finding the answers to reflux discomfort so many families need, because it turns out while doctors don't have the answers... SCIENCE does!
We all know infant health creates a solid foundation for a lifetime of good health.
Yet, many babies are being let down...
Imagine being able to contribute to infant health in a way that NO doctor, health visitor or paediatrician does...
Because they simply do not have the training (and scientific insight behind them) to look at infant reflux as anything other than a pharmacological issue that requires chemical alteration to 'fix'!
Imagine being a nutritional and infant reflux EXPERT that parents can turn to with confidence. Knowing they'll finally get the answers they need to change their lives!
The Diploma in Baby Reflux in Nutrition for Infant Reflux, Colic & Associated Food Allergies & Intolerances was created to equip and empower other professionals with a COMPLETE education in resolving the underlying causes of reflux.
I'm so glad you've found me. Families desperately need YOU!
Are you ready to support infants with reflux better?
Picture the scene. You meet another lovely parent client and their gorgeous, yet clearly unsettled, child.
You’ve done all you can in your field, but there’s something else. Something more.
You sense the desperation behind mum's eyes... The strain, the exhaustion, the attempts to stay positive, hiding yet more let down.
Then the sinking feel. You hate having to admit it. You don’t have the solution for their reflux struggles either!
You simply don’t have the answers. Again. God, you wish you did.
Now what? It feels like a betrayal to recommend seeing a GP (as if they haven’t been already!) because you’ve heard time and again how parents are being fobbed off and left frustrated.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Imagine, instead...
You’ve decided enough is enough.
Too many families are being mistreated, belittled and left to flounder. Too many babies are being left in pain, with their parents watching on, heartbroken.
You’ve decided YOU will be someone who steps up. Who takes action and actively sets out to find the answers your clients need.
Imagine, you've taken The Diploma in Nutrition for Infant Reflux and suddenly everything makes sense. You now have a wealth of insight about what’s going on for the little ones you serve PLUS the knowledge on how to actively resolve their struggles.
The next time reflux is an issue, the fear and gut-churning guilt is gone.
In its place? A smile, a calm breath and the confidence to utter words every single parent dealing with reflux, colic, allergies and/or intolerances longs to hear...
Now with confidence you say: “I know what’s going on and I can help.”
And with that their lives change forever - and so does yours.
Can you imagine the JOY?
It's nearly yours to experience...
I'm ready to join now >Are you willing to be an expert in...
Breastfeeding Dietary Support
The link between mother's food and her baby's reflux and digestive comfort is stronger than you may think.
Imagine being able to... provide the most amazing and specific support to a mum who is struggling, who knows there is something in her diet that is aggravating her baby, and you have the knowledge to identify those irritants for her so she's not stuck on a long-term highly restricted diet that is not supporting her emotional or mental health, or her baby?
Weaning
54% of babies with reflux get worse with solids. And there's a high number of babies diagnosed with reflux after starting solids who never had trouble before.
Imagine being able to... support all of these children, through the introduction of solids, knowing what they should avoid and why, knowing how the foods interact with the reflux medications they may be on, and how to allow parents to really enjoy this fun part of parenting.
Dietary Complexities
Long term medication of young children creates serious complications that are often missed completely by mainstream healthcare through the chemical changes they create in their digestive system.
These include SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) and Histamine Sensitivity.
Imagine having the knowledge to... be able to explain to parents what is going on for they child and to help them navigate these complexities and bring joy to their family lives?
How would it feel to be able to finally give parents a clear path to pursue? And to be the first professional to leave them feeling empowered rather than hopeless?
Plus, you'll get to stop waving money right out the door and serve the clients who need you most!
Introducing
the Diploma in Nutrition for Infant Reflux, Colic, and Associated Allergies & Intolerances
The world's first and only diploma dedicated to supporting infants and families around the world through complete holistic understanding and support of these conditions.
With this course, not only will you revolutionise the way you approach colic, baby reflux & infant nutrition, you'll become a certified 'Baby Reflux Lady' able to expand your postnatal business and serve more clients!
Developed to educate you step-by-step to become a baby reflux specialist.
Here's what we'll look at:
Understanding the Infant Digestive System
Reflux happens in the digestive system. However, all current approaches to supporting infants with reflux fail to understand the physiological development of this, the most fundamental aspect of understanding not only reflux, but colic and all the associated food allergies and intolerances.
By first understanding mature human anatomy and physiology, then how it it differs in infants, and abnormalities of this system from birth, we lay the foundation of being able to truly provide individualised solutions that address the issue of reflux, colic, and food allergies and intolerances in babies.
Until now, the world has been making the mistake that the infant digestive system is like an adults. It is not.
Understanding the Maternal Digestive System
So frequently overlooked completely, the health of mum's body and digestion plays a vital role in the way she is able to support her baby. This is not just after baby is born, there are significant elements in pregnancy (and even pre-conception) that we may want to consider to make sure we provide the best support for her child.
That a breastfeeding mums diet isn't important is untrue. That skin-to-skin isn't important is untrue. We will be looking at all the ways to support baby's digestive development by also understanding and supporting mum's... even when she isn't breastfeeding...
Understanding Digestive Chemistry
The world seems to be completely ignoring the vital element of what happens to food when we eat it?
We must understand the molecular level function of digestion to be able to see and decipher the patterns. We must have open eyes about nutrition and sometimes read deeper than the government guidelines.
We will look at nutrition for baby, nurturing their microbiome and exploring topics less well understood including those nutrients vital for brain development that don't even have an RDA!

What Parents Say...
Weaning is something I should have been excited about but having a baby with reflux left me full of dread as I approached weaning age.
I signed up to Áine's weaning course and instantly felt relief and empowered to make the best decisions for my baby that would not result in a downwards reflux spiral!
I had been previously given information from professionals about weaning that I knew wouldn’t work for my baby and the course reaffirmed my gut instinct and provided me with the right knowledge and understanding to make good food choices for my baby.
As we go in to Week 5 of weaning my baby is loving every mealtime and it has become the fun and exciting part of parenting that I always wanted it to be!
- Julie Anne Murray
Course Modules
Everything you'll learn is designed to equip you to give your clients tangible steps to work through, so they can take control over their baby’s reflux. No more going back and forth to the doctors!
The course will include on average 4-5 hours of learning per week for 40 weeks, spread over 12 months to support holidays, school, time to integrate the learning etc.
Each month there is 3 weeks of self-guided learning through prerecorded video classes, workbook completion, and homework, with a week of integration / catch up time, and every month there is a live Q&A session with Áine for an opportunity for you to ask any questions about the content in that month.
Here is a look at the sections in more detail

Ongoing Assessment
The best way to learn is by putting knowledge into practice. Throughout the course you will present case studies in class for discussion about approach, gathering information from parents and assessing how this fits the big picture. You will be required to work with both breast-fed and formula fed babies, and those not yet on solids and some on solids already.
Final Assessment
To ensure that you are fully capable of working with babies from all walks of life, the final assessment requires 2 case studies with results to be submitted, 1 case studied to be presented to Aine Homer in a viva interview for discussion and the writing of a paper on a specified topic (different for each student) to demonstrate critical thinking skills and the use of published research papers.

What Parents Say...
Our weaning journey is going really well and Jacob is reflux freeeee 🙌🏻🙌🏻
It was an isolating time, my son was failing to gain weight and I was fearful to feed in public or in company due to the perceived judgement on my inability to feed my son.
I felt utterly let down by the various NHS services we had sought help from, apparently my baby’s reflux was “more of a laundry issue than a health issue”!
I would recommend and urge anyone looking for real answers on their babies reflux and looking to facilitate positive change in their life to sign up to Aine's teachings.
I can’t thank her enough for taking the time to get to know my baby's reflux, for having my back when I felt others didn’t and for helping me understand what was going on for my baby.
I hope and pray that her training can reach the professionals working with babies with reflux and that her approach can be incorporated into mainstream services.
We need more Áines in the world!
- Kat McColl
Between my two girls we had it all...
Official diagnoses of colic, reflux, silent reflux, tongue tie, cows milk protein allergy, nut allergy, sulphite allergy and multiple other food intolerances to boot!
The allergist I paid £400 for a private consultation told me I "needn't bother my pretty little head about it"... He told me my daughter was safe with all foods.
Turns out she had a mild nut allergy which allowed inflammation to build up in her system over 2 years so that she eventually got to a stage that she couldn't breathe at night due to airway restrictions.
My Traditional Chinese Medicine training (and my engineering and project management background!) firmly ingrained the drive to always seek the root cause of every problem, because there lies the best solution. And it's true.
When I applied what I knew to my own children, I discovered a whole new set of causes that were never mentioned, that were contributing to my children's suffering.
I discovered that the foods I was eating while breastfeeding were having a phenomenal impact, and I figured out why.
I discovered why my kids had food intolerances that nothing else could explain and how to support them best.
I discovered mechanical causes of reflux and how to address them at the root cause.
With clients, I discovered the causative link between gastric acid suppression medication and sudden new and inexplicable allergies in their children, and figured out how to resolve it safely.
I have a passion for health.
I believe in the need to raise a healthier generation of people than the culture of chronic disease that is growing.
I believe we need to support children to grow up to be their healthiest selves as adults, allowing them to be free from behavioural and physical illnesses, by identifying and addressing the root causes as early as possible.
Early intervention is always the best intervention.
And my clients love this approach because it literally changes their lives!
