7.5mg prevacid??

http://www.marci-kids.com is THE place to learn about PPI dosing in infants. They are at the FOREFRONT of research in this field! have you checked there? is this why you’re questioning the dose?

computer! dh claims he can fix it. ummm…so I’ll keep trying in between it crashing on me, grrr….

yep. get some more zantac to cover her until the prevacid kicks in and then give her the 7.5 2x a day. then FAX YOUR DOCTOR to TELL THAT YOU NEED THIS DOSE INCREASE. TELL do not ask.

KEEP BREASTFEEDING! (that’s what you want to do!)

IF it’s something in your milk, you can figure that out AFTER you get the meds straight! first things first…really, it’s all in GROUPIE INTRO, lol!

zantac should be fine right away- I would give the MAX dose of 10mgs per kilo. again, don’t just listen to me, check out GROUPIE INTRO and the link from there, PREVACID 101- there’s a link from there about HOW I found out the zantac dose (spoke with a pharmacist, LOL)!

ps: switching to formula for a few days is a myth: it takes TWO WEEKS for any change with all of this stuff! two weeks to see if formula works, two weeks to see if PROPER prevacid works, two weeks to change your diet to see if it is a protein in you milk…so please don’t stress about switching to formula if you don’t want to , because you can change your milk to BE LIKE FORMULA– read GROUPIE INTRO

IF it’s something in your diet, it takes a while to build up (the offending proteins I mean), so while it’s not alltogether ‘worthless’ to track your diet, it won’t help IF it’s something ‘major’ like milk or soy (the main culprits- others have found more but let’s not go there yet!) because those take 2 or even 3 weeks to clear out of your milk. now, if it’s something like citrus or broccoli well fine, take note, but in the general BIG picture, the ‘biggies’ won’t ‘just’ result in a reaction after eating it..example: you eat roasted eggplant at 10:00 a.m. then it takes a good 3-5 hrs for that to get into your milk, so you feed baby let’s say at 2:00pm and then after that feeding baby is way more distressed than usual, well, ok maybe it was the eggplant. take note and try again. if it happens again then don’t eat anymore eggplant, lol! but for milk or soy or wheat or nuts or rice or anything ‘major’ you can’t really do that kind of ‘test’ – so that’s when the TED (total elimination diet) comes in…I did it (it’s in groupie intro, LOL).

correct me if I am wrong, but you don’t need to feel breast engorgement to have overactive letdown? IIt seem to have it, but never really feel engorgement and don’t leak at all..just have the tell tale green frothy poos. do know feeding on just one breast for the night feeds and and early morning ones has stopped the behaviour you descrive.
