Reflux medication question

Hi ladies, I just have a quick question. Last Thursday I took DD to peds for reflux symptoms, we have been trying all the natural stuff for weeks, smaller feeds, holding her upright, I cut out dairy and so on. But symptoms were getting worse so he put her on Pepcid. My question is for those of you who use medication how long before you saw results after starting meds with your LO's? Thanks!

    We did Zantac and it took a few days or so to notice a difference...but It didnt help much so we switched to prevacid and again it took a few days before we noticed any difference...it has helped A LOT and we're still on it!

    Good luck!  Reflux is the devil!

    Adalyn is on Zantac (ranitidine) and I would say it take took a few days before we started seeing a change.  She has become a completely different baby when feeding and we are very glad for it!

    Thanks ladies!! She is still spitting up maybe once a day but we have only been on meds since Friday she got her two doses a day, she is already drinking more, yay! Hopefully we will continue to see improvements! Hope all your LO's are doing well!

    Weve been on prevacid since a few weeks after discharge - it took days but the difference was remarkable - weve recently added a night time dose of zantac for overnight help - GL with the reflux -
