Gastric Reflux Support Network NZ

Supporting families through sleepless nights, feeding struggles, and reflux challenges with care, guidance, and hope.

Nationwide

For families living with gastric reflux, EoE/EGID, or Laryngomalacia, life can feel relentless. Screaming babies in pain, constant vomiting, food aversions, tube feeding, and months of sleepless nights are all too common — and isolation is real.

Since 2001, Gastric Reflux Support Network NZ has been supporting families across New Zealand with private regional networks, a nationwide Facebook community, fact sheets, and one-on-one guidance. Over 1,500 members rely on our support, and thousands more visit our website, Crying Over Spilt Milk, for advice and reassurance.

Donations give us the flexibility to respond where it matters most — creating resources, supporting families in crisis, and easing daily struggles. Every contribution helps a baby sleep more easily, a parent feel supported, and a family regain hope.

Join us — together, we can make a real difference for families affected by reflux.

Helping Parents Navigate Medical Pressure, and What’s Next 13 April 2026

We’re really pleased to share that our “Parenting Under Medical Pressure” course will be running again from 6 May. This programme continues to provide practical tools and emotional support for parents navigating the stress of caring for a baby with medical needs. The course is very practical, and parents report feeling relieved that simple tools make a such big difference.

Alongside this, we are working to extend our support even further. We would love to be able to offer online webinars and an online baby massage course, giving parents additional practical ways to support and comfort their babies while also helping them feel less overwhelmed and alone in the process.

We are also continuing to cover essential operational costs that allow us to keep these services running and accessible to families who need them most.

Like many small charities, we are currently operating in a very challenging funding environment. Every contribution — large or small — directly supports our ability to continue and grow this work for families across New Zealand.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who stands with us and helps make this support possible.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
