if you have a baby on zantac...

how much do they take and how often? Just cirious if my pedi started my LO out on a small dose, b/c he still arches and grunts and fights with his feedings sometimes and he is on zantac. He takes .3ml 2x a day. What does your LO take?

  • we started at .8ml 2x a day (up to 3x if needed) when he was about a month old (so about 8lbs?). 0.3ml sounds low...

    Keira wasn't prescribed until she was 11 months old (and about 14 pounds) so her dose may be higher than yours because of that, but she took 1ml 3x daily.

  • My boys started at .8ml 2x daily and now one of them takes 1.1ml 2x daily and the other is off of it.  I think it depends on weight though.  How long has he been on it?  We still see arching sometimes, and he has been on it since he came home from the hospital last summer.  Good luck!
  • DD is on .25 ml twice a day, but she is only 6lbs 5 oz, so that may be why her dose is so low. ?I think she may need a bit more now, since it was prescribed when she was only 4 lbs. ?I think i might look into it and see if we should increase since she is still grunting, red facing, etc. ?
