My DD started on prevacid solutabs yesterday but I have two issues...

One is that they are hard to give. She won't take a bottle and keeps spitting the liquid out that I dropper in. Can I just split up the tabs and put out on her mouth to dissolve?

    My son has been taking a liquid form of Zantac since he was 4 weeks old.  He's now almost 4 months.  He doesn't like it, but he tolerates it and takes it like a champ.  I use a syringe toward the back of his mouth.  At first I had to b
