6.3kg x 10 = 63
63 divided by 15 = 4.2MLs total for the day, divided into 2 doses however you want

I’ve read about good success using a pill cutter…not sure about crushed vs cut…

poor bub probably is getting worse? if it’s liquid losec (called a compound), it’s probably not being made properly…and the dose, as you’ve mentioned is quite low…we saw some results at 3mgs per kilo of losec…eventually switched to prevacid…do you have any zantac (rantadine)? you can give that, too, spaced 4hrs from the losec…10mgs per…[Read more]

these are all questions for Reflux Solutions, lol!
all I can tell you is that YES you can give the meds at any time…

the mg/ml is the same
75mg/5ml

divide by 5

you know what? I would just give the 30mgs a day, divided into 2 doses.
it is ‘safe’ and might just be what he needs at the moment!
make sure to give the meds on an empty stomach, followed by a meal 30 minutes later. you need to open the capsule and give the beads to the baby w/ a bit of applesauce- the bit of applesauce has enough acid to…[Read more]

keep the zantac and even increase it (10mgs per kilo is the max)!
give 2 x a day, as you said the omeprazole isn’t high enough even w/ the increase you’re giving…
remember to give the zantac 4 hrs seperate from the omeprazole…

I truly don’t know about formula fed babies, but I always fed my baby when hungry…?

hi there, I cannot answer about oz of formula, lol but beth did the math right as far as I can tell~

5.5kilos x 10 = 55mgs total for the day
so divide by 15 to get mls =
3.7mls total for the day of zantac, divided up however is best for baby- 2 doses given- at least 4hrs seperate from the prevacid

so it can be:
1ml + 2.7mls…[Read more]

compound is liquid version and yes it is close to impossible to get it doen RIGHT, so what many of us (myself included) do is to make it ourselves at home by:

3) mix at home and…[Read more]
