Starting Zantac

Baby Elsie has been struggling for a while. We had one day where she screamed uncontrollably the whole day. A few days after that at her 2 month appt, the PA recommended using mylicon at every feeding to see if that helped and then gave us a prescription for Zantac just in case. The mylicon made some difference. Yay! But we are still having feedings where after 5 minutes, she starts screaming, burps like a frat boy, and then refuses my nipple. She'll take a pacifier, kind of, to calm down a little. Today we had copious amounts of spit up following a feeding like this. Soaked.

So I filled her Zantac prescription to see if that will help her. Says half a mL 2x a day. Moms of babies with reflux, when do you administer your meds? I hope this works. Maybe we'll actually get into a regular feeding rhythm!

    We do ours at 8am and 8pm, or so...depends on how things go, but that's what we shoot for.

    I'm surprised by the dosage! DD was on 1.5ml 2x a day when she was 12.5lbs, now at 14.5lbs she takes 2ml 2x a day. Makin' me wonder if my pedi is craz

    DS has been on Zantac for a month now, and the results have been amazing.  At 3 months he was 14lbs, 12oz, and pedi prescribed 1.5mL 2x/day, 15-20 minutes before a feeding as she said it works better on an empty stomach. I sh

    DD is on 0.8ml 2xday weighing right about 10 lbs. Her pulmonologist was the prescribing dr and felt like she should remain on that dose at our appt yesterday, despite our pedi questioning it being too low. He feels that she's doing fine with that amoun
