Reflux babies ?
DD was on Zantac as a newborn for reflux. It got better (still slight spit up, but not much), so we took her off the med per pedi's ok. Within the last 2 weeks, she has been spitting up more. Now it's more like regular throw-up since she's on solids. This happens at almost every feeding...even 2-3 hours after she eats. It could be either a meal or just a bottle. It's not a lot, but it still concerns me a bit. I still have some of her Zantac left, so I might try to give that to her. She keeps spitting it out at me, so it's hard to give to her. The pedi wants me to give it to her 10 minutes before she eats, so I can't mix it in her food. I've even tried to decrease the amounts she gets thinking that it was overeating, but that didn't work.
My question: are any reflux babies still having reflux issues? How are you handling that.

Sam never stopped spitting up even though he was on meds (Prilosec). He did stop raging during feedings when we started the meds.
We've tried weaning him off the meds but haven't had much luck yet.
You sound like us! DS was on Zantac and then Prevacid. We had weaned DS off Prevacid back in May b/c we never knew if it was really helping, and he seemed to be doing fine, so we thought we'd try it. Things got worse slowly, with a lot of gagging/vomiting, and the worst was he was sleeping HORRIBLY. Most times when I had him asleep, he would wake up immediately when I put him down, and cry. The pedi said it was just "separation anxiety" but we put him back on Zantac and it's been WAY better. He's still doing a fair amount of "urping" and spitting up/vomiting but is only waking once or twice now, and will usually eat (BF) and go back to sleep. It will be great when he finally outgrows this!
Good luck. I say try the Zantac again.
