Hang in there.  Sorry, I don't have any novel advice.  I posted all my thoughts in reply to your other posts.

Make sure that you're giving the prevacid on an empty stomach, and followed up with a meal 30 minutes later.  You're doing the solutabs right?

I just saw this - i am sorry that you are having such a difficult time. Most babies will react well to a high dose of medicine. Apart from the Mylanta, you can also ask your ped to write a prescription for either Zantac or Pepcid (the pepcid tastes a lot better). We used ot give Matthew prevacid 2x and pepcid 2x a day, spaced 3 or 4 hours.

I don't know what else to say - we never pushed Matthew to eat because it was impossible. For us, the medication did nothing and the feeding aversion was there. It was up and down for a while and then just down. But again, kids do respond to medication.

What formula are you giving?? When Matthew started only taking 2ounces at each feeding, we switched formulas over and over. At the end, we were just on Neocate because that was the safest bet at the time.

Good lulck - i hope that things improve soon.

How long was she on 7.5 mg / 3 x's daily?

Her dose is actually still the same, 22.5 mg total, just broken down differently. Myles did not do well until he was on 30 mg a day. Mabye she needs a higher dose. I'd check her dose at www.marci-kids.com and then fax the marci-kids information to her ped and ask him to please allow you to try a higher dose (whatever dose marci-kids recommends) three times per day.

What formula is she on? Maybe she needs a specialty formula for MSPI? Many reflux babies also have MSPI.

HI

My daughter is 3 months old and also on average taking 2-3 oz at a time.  We started prevacid about 2 weeks ago and her feedings are getting somewhat easier and I also am still giving her Zantac 4 hours apart twice a day.  I don't have any suggestions for you, just wanted to let you know that you are not alone.  I know how frustrating it is, espically when I have friends with newborns drinking 4-5 oz at a time.  We did change her formula to Elecare, which is a higher fat and it is 24 cal and go up to 28 cal.  We had that done, while she was hospitalized for failure to thrieve.  Good luck

Personally I'd stick with the two doses of Prevacid and give her Zantac mid-day. It's fine for her to be on both meds as long as they are given several hours apart from one another. There have been a few babies on this board who've been on both meds. So, that's what I would do, at least until you see the specialist.

As for how long, it took 10 days for Myles to turn around once he was on the right dose of Prevacid. Most moms here say it took about two weeks to see results with their babies.

What form of Prevacid is she on? If she's on the solutabs or packets it should be given on an empty stomach and followed up 30 minutes later with a feeding.

I hope things are better soon. I remember those awful days when my babies wouldn't eat. It's horrible and I really feel for you. I hope and pray this specialist you are seeing will help her.
