How long was your LO on meds for reflux before the fussiness subsided and you saw an improvement in their eating habits?

    We tried zantac first and after 3 days things seemed to be worse. The pedi told us to give it 2 weeks but he would stop eating half-way through his normal bottle and just screamed & screamed. So we switched to prevacid and it was a night & day difference within the first 48 hours. He is much happier, smiling more, and back to eating 4oz at each feeding. When did your LO start taking something and what was prescribed?

    3-4 days before we saw improvement.  Things were much better in about a week.  Each time she needs to switch meds or increase dosage, it's about the same amount of time before she's feeling better.  I keep hoping that we're getting closer to being off the meds, but it's not looking like it's going to happen anytime soon.  I forgot the meds yesterday morning, and it was a screaming mess.

    Pedi gave us Zantac this morning, so I have only given him one dose.  She wants to see us back in a week.  For some reason the screaming and fussing at mealtime and pushing the bottle away has gotten markedly worse in the last 10 days.  Before I just chalked it up to normal baby fussiness.
