I know this has probably been asked a million times but I don’t have time to do a search right now. Abby has been hit with a bad cold, croup, teething, and barfing all within the last week (oh goodie, oh joy) and I think her reflux is flaring a bit at times. Just wondering how much Mylanta Cherry Supreme she could have? She is almost 9 months old and weighs 17 lbs, 10 ounces. How much and how often can/should she have it?

Thanks again and Happy Halloween!!

Hi Robin,

Sorry Abby’s not feeling well. So many things at once! Poor sweetie.

As for Mylanta, from what I’ve read you really can’t overdose them. If you give them too much you’ll know because they will have loose stools. At 5 months and 17 lbs, I gave Myles 1/2 tsp, 4 – 5 times per day. He tended to be constipated so he never got loose stools from it.

I hope Abby’s feeling better soon.

Thanks Christine!!

Does anyone know about timing of Mylanta around her Zegerid doses – does it matter or is there any magical rule I should be aware of?

I just bumped a thread about this topic this morning (i.e. the timing of PPIs, H2 blockers, and antacids. You should be able to find it in active topics under medicines. But to summarize, with zegerid, it doesn’t matter- you can give them as near or as far from each other as you want.

Hope she’s feeling better soon.
