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?

hi & welcome! you've found a great place!

the key to all of this is RESEARCH and, of course, support!

www.marci-kids.com is at the FOREFRONT of research of PPI use and dosing in infants/todders.  You might want to start there to see if PPI dose is 'proper' -

(it sounds as if it IS!  congratulations!

now, are you giving it in two doses? please continue readingSmile)

then, hop back here to learn HOW to get that proper dose, if need be, and what FORM of PPI and HOW to administer...

Prevacid 101(last post on the page): http://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1936&PN=0&TPN=1

 

unfortunately 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 have a LOT MORE TO SAY! and most of it is here: Groupie Intro: http://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=853

 

it's looong, but PLEASE read/skim/scroll through it & refer back to it, as it TRULY will help you!

 

so glad you found us!

ps: when you get a moment, please go to the upper right-hand corner of this screen and click on 'settings' and from there you can edit your signature and let us know how old baby is, what formula or breastfeeding,  MSPI or not, what meds and what doses and form of meds and how you're administering-thanks!
