napping

[Anonymous]

I was wondering if anyone has had success with meds making their refluxers comfortable enough to nap when they hadn’t previously? My daughter has just started ranitidine, and I was thinking back to my son’s experience, and how the medicine helped him tremendously, but it didn’t actually change his sleep habits, or lack thereof.

thanks

proper dosing of rantidine/zantac should help things- it’s very weight sensitive & needs to be increased w/ every little weight gain-

Zantac dosing– my/other’s question (has axid & pepcid doses, too):

also sleeping on the tummy can help- there’s an angelcare monitor you can look into – also for naps, if you can watch, put a beanie baby on baby’s back to see that s/he’s breathing (it goes up & down) & also the weight feels like your hand…

Thats a neat idea with the beanie baby! I have been putting her down on her side since 3 weeks of age, as we have a sleep positioner. She fights sleep in all places, but especially the crib, until the afternoon when she is exhausted.
