I had the same issue with my now 2 month old. I only had him on a very low dose of Zantac until about a month ago. When I was finally prescribed the Prevacid. I continues with both, and still had a hard time with my son having reflux episodes.
I decided to put him on the max dose of Zantac according to weight, and updating the dose every 5 pounds….I don’t increase his amount until he is 5 more pounds from the last time I upped it. I also have been giving him his Prevacid at Marci-Kids reccomendation, and it has given me a totally different baby.
Conner is currently on 3.7ML’s of Zantac once a day, I seperate this amount into 2 doses…1.5AM and 2.2PM.
His prevacid is 22.5 daily also in 2 doses.. 7.5 AM and 15mg PM.
You have to mentally prepare yourself on a daily basis with gerdlings/MSPI. Your always going to be on a rollercoaster, one day baby will be a happy cooing slobbery eating machine, the next day he can turn into the grouch from H e l l. It’s something that is just going to happen.
Conner does really good, but does have more reflux epidoses at night, im not sure why but thats when he has it the most.
And remember to give your medications atleast 4 hours apart. My Doctor NEVER told me to wait 4 hours, I was only waiting 30 min in between meds, and eventually the prevacid stopped working, until I started waiting the 4 hours.
Don’t give up hope, most babies start growing out of their reflux/MSPI by 12 months.
wow…..I didn’t realize how much I have learned from the ladies here lol
