One dose of Prevacid Success??

Once per day probably won’t be adequate. It is hard timing the prevacid with feedings. I was so darn frustrated with it for a long time but as they get older it gets a little easier because they are on more of a predictable schedule.

Instead of trying once per day dosing, I’d just “cheat” a little when you have to. If he’s screaming to eat maybe see if he can wait 15 – 20 minutes instead of the full 30. He’ll still get some benefit from the medication, probably just not the maximum effect.

If he generally wakes at the same time each day, you could try what I did with Myles. I’d sneak into his room and give him his prevacid 1/2 hour before he normally wakes up. He’d wake up a little but I’d give him his nuk and he’d drift back off to sleep and then I’d wake him 1/2 hr later and feed him. I still do this but he’s older now and can wait if I just keep him busy.

The way you’re doing it giving it to him at 10:00 am seems fine, though. Do you wait two hrs after his first feeding?

He will get some of the medicine even if he eats. He will just get a smaller dose as all of the medicine will not be effective. I think Laura is right and you just need to do it without worring when he eats. If you notice that at night he is refluxing then maybe your doctor would consider changing meds to zegerid. I think at this point if you have been giving it without worring about the food then its fine to keep doing it that way. You can only do so much.
