Reflux moms w/ LOs on Prevacid

How old/big is your child, what dosage are you on, and do you feel it's enough? Thanks.

Also, are you doing any other med (i.e. Zantac or whatever) in conjunction w/ the Prevacid?

    We do 2.5 ml of Prevacid twice a day.  She weighs 15.5 pounds, but was 13 pounds when we started that doseage.  It is still working great!  When we did Zantac the doseage needed to be upped every week almost.  She has been so much happier with Prevacid.  We also give her 1.4 ml of Bethenecal 3 times a day.

    We give her half of a 15mg tablet each day. Her pedi recommended that we give a quarter tablet twice a day (7.5mg per day). We started her when she was three weeks old. She still takes the same dose. She seems to be doing fine on it. Some days she spits more than usual and I attribute it to my diet. but even on those days she doesn't seem to be bothered (Except she has more hiccups and burps than usual). We don't give her anything else, but still hold her upright after feeding for 20 minutes and frequently burp her.

    We changed Hunter to 22.5 mg tablet a day. He gets 7.5 in the morning and 15mg at night. But I have a big baby.
