    I would say, just keep giving it.  My DS was also exclusively BF when we started the Zantac, and we would just put the syringe in the back corner of his mouth and give little  bits at a time.  Give him a little, let him swallow, etc until it was all done. 
    He still hates the flavor, but now he just opens his mouth and we put it in.  Of course he has been on it for months, but eventually the poor little ones get used to it.

    Robbie was only on zantac a short while back in the NICU w/ and NG tube so we didn't have to deal with it.

    But Robbie despised his prevacid suspension and we were able to get it flavored. He still didn't like it, but it helped a little. Maybe ask at the pharmacy if they can add some flavoring?
