My son, 8 wks, is on 30mg of prevacid solutab a day...it does seem to help the reflux symptoms, but now he is not sleeping well and seems to get a tummy ache on the meds. Anyone else have this problem?

the majority of drs & pharmacists don't know...babies metabolisms' are much
faster than adults, so the drugs work differently with them... after
medication, you might then want to look at diet... I
