We started xantac about a week ago and am waiting to noticed any difference. If not her pedi said he was going to put her on previcid. Which seems to work wonders for most babies.
I am just wondering if your child was able to enjoy the swing, bouncy chair, walks, car rides, etc.... after finding the right medicine?
Re: Did meds help calm/relieve your acid reflux baby?
My daughter diagnosed with GERD when she was 2.5 months old. She started out on liquid zantac .6 ml 2x a day and is now 4.5 months old and the dosage has changed, its now 1.4ml 3x a day and a 15mg solutab of previd once a day. She also gets rice cereal in her bottles as well.
She has always enjoyed any activites that keep her atleast partially upright, she enjoys them even moreso now that shes on the meds.
DS has been on Zantac since about 2 months old. It has made a world of difference. He's a different baby with the medication.
It's worth figuring out which medication and dose works for you. The dosing is very important with Zantac; very dependent on baby's weight.
Good luck.

LO has been on zantac since 4 weeks old, now almost 5 months. You can tell when she hasnt had her meds. Never a giant fan of the swing, but enjoys everything else. Ped says that she may outgrow between 6-9 months and should be able to stop taking meds. Tried cereal last week, fine first few days- HORRIBLE after that. So we are off the cereal. She loved eating, did great with the spoon, but 3hrs later she was screaming bloody murder for hours. Poor tummy!
