Reflux mama's who use Prevacid, come on in

Few questions for ya. How many mg per day is your LO on? If you use the Solu-tab, how do you administer it? My directions say to dissolve it in 10ml of water and use a dropper but I feel like when I do this A) it's way too much water and B) half of it ends up on her face. So I need an easier way to give it to her, can I just put it in one of her bottles?

 

TIA!

    I think we have 15mg tabs and we cut it in 1/2. He gets 1/2 daily. I put the tab on a baby spoon, and put 1-2 drops of water and it dissolves. He takes it like a pro.

    We put the pill in 4 ml of water, then used a syringe and gave with 2 ml of water.  We stopped though because it gave him horrible poops.

    This exactly. It's way easier with a spoon.

    I am going to try the spoon trick today.  We have been giving her half a 15 mg tab in a teaspoon of water.  I put it in a medicine dispenser that has a nipple on it but the medicine is so grainy she is not getting all of it.  I have to scoop it out and put it on her paci and hope that she will suck it.

    If he's young the spoon thing won't work because they haven't lost the reflex to push things out of the mouths with their tongues. We do 1/2 tabs at 12p bottle and 1/2 tab at 4pm bottle and then zantac at 8 bottle. When we give it we place the syringe into the corner of her cheek and squirt some in while leaning her back A LITTLE BIT...not enough to choke her. Don't mix it with formula, juices, etc. -- it will clump up and not be as effective. The combo of prevacid and zantac has worked well for her and she has reflux BAD!!!!!!!!!!!
