The Baby Reflux Lady’s Survival Guide by Áine Homer
The Baby Reflux Lady’s Survival Guide is written by Áine Homer, an engineer turned holistic health expert, who became known for solving baby reflux when no one else could.
Like so many parents, Áine was handed a baby with relentless crying, sleepless nights, and the vague diagnosis of “reflux”, with no real help in sight. Determined to find answers, she drew on her background in Traditional Chinese Medicine and nutrition to uncover the true causes behind her baby’s distress. What followed was years of study, clinical work, and thousands of hours spent helping families across the world.
Today, Áine runs a thriving online business teaching parents how to identify and resolve the root cause of their baby’s reflux, not just mask the symptoms. She also trains professionals through her Diploma in Infant Reflux, supporting health and maternity practitioners to better serve families in their care.
Her book is a compassionate, practical, and genuinely effective guide for exhausted parents who have been told, “It’s normal” or “They’ll grow out of it”, when deep down, they know something’s not right.
This isn’t a book of vague advice or generic tips. It’s a roadmap based on real evidence, clinical experience, and a belief that babies deserve to feel comfortable in their bodies, and parents deserve to understand what’s going on.
If your baby cries endlessly, refuses feeds, struggles with sleep, or has been labelled with reflux, colic, or silent reflux, The Baby Reflux Lady’s Survival Guide could change everything.

ADHD books by Sarah Templeton
Sarah Templeton writes books to help parents of ADHD children and teenagers. She is a qualified counsellor and CBT therapist but perhaps more importantly has an ADHD brain herself so really ‘gets’ ADHD kids.
As a counsellor she has worked with hundreds of ADHD kids and her books give the very best tips and strategies for managing anything an ADHD child or teenager might throw at you!
Sarah makes it clear from the start she is no Doctor or Medic. She is just someone who had to battle for nearly 52 years before anybody realised she had moderate to severe combined ADHD, severe dyspraxia, dyscalculia, sensory processing disorder and OCD!
She spent her entire childhood feeling different, batting off constant criticism and knowing she thought differently to other people but getting zero support for it. Despite this she battled through to run her own successful business from the age of 25 and now runs the biggest team of ADHD-diagnosed counsellors is in the world!
Sarah is determined no other ADHD child should go through what she did and instead is passionate about parents understanding and cherishing their ADHD kids – giving them a strong basis from which to flourish and achieve.
Her books are easy to read with short chapters broken down into chunks. She gives advice at the end of each chapter of what the most important thing to remember is and the most important thing to stop doing!
Sarah knows most of the parents reading the books will also be ADHD (with the ADHD being genetic) so big blocks of text and long chapters are their nemesis!
Sarah is naturally funny so there is humour in her books. She doesn’t hold back and there is no sugar coating! Sarah says it as it is in plain simple English.
