How much Zantac is your LO on? Did Zantac work for you?

DD was on .5 mL from 1 week old to 3 weeks old. She has been on .8 mL from 3 weeks old to now, 6 weeks old. She has had to sleep on her tummy since day 3 due to the reflux. Tonight I noticed the only way to stop her fussiness was to have her on her back. I hummed to her and tried to soothe her. I could hear that she had reflux. She kept doing it until she choked. She hates the incline of the boppy so that's not an option. Wondering if upping or switching the meds might work. She takes her .8 mLs twice a day and she took it at 8pm. It's now 11 pm and the reflux persists.

    My baby started out taking 1ml of zantac twice a day at 3 weeks old.  It worked for a while, but then we noticed he was having more episodes of choking and crying, so we switched him to 1ml of prevacid twice a day about a week and a half ago.  Not sure that it's helping, but I recently started eliminating dairy from my diet and so far, it seems to be helping.  I read that many infants have a hard time with the cow's milk proteins in mom's milk.

    DD still gets Zantac 1 mL twice a day, but is also on Prevacid which is what helps the most.  My DD sleeps on her side, we rotate left and right each night.  Lately I've been able to get her to sleep on her back though.

    DD is on 1mL twice a day.  We just started it last Monday, but I don't think it's helping so far.  She spent most of today screaming, especially when I laid her down.

    We are on .5ML twice a day. He's been on it for about 2 weeks now but I can't really tell if it's helping or not. The only thing that seems to help is keeping him upright for 30-60 minutes after feeding him and not letting him over stuff himself when he eats (25 minutes nursing seems to be the tipping point).

    Hi! I am over snooping from the March 2012 board:) 

    We had DD on zantac starting at week 5 (took us a while to figure out it was reflux). I think they started her at .8 and it worked for a week. Then we were back to the old routine. We switched to prevacid and it made all the difference. Had to increase her dose as she got bigger but it helped her. Good luck!
