Dominic has been on it for a week now, with no apparent improvement.

If anything, he has been a bit more uncomfortable and fussy, but certainly

not sleeping any better.

Should I have seen at least some improvement by now? If so, I am eager

to stop it, as it’s just 4 more times a day I have to cram meds down ds’s

throat! Although he likes the taste of it best…

Aidan took an antibiotic with erythromycin in it for an ear infection and it was horrible on his tummy, gave him horrible cramps. I know it’s not the same doseing, and it wasn’t given for reflux, but that’s my expierence with it!!

Hi Sarah,
My son’s on Erythromycin too. It seems like it took it a couple of weeks to really start working. So you might want to give it another week to be sure. It can cause some tummy cramping in some babies though. That usually subsides once their bodies adjust to the med after a couple weeks, though some can’t handle it at all. It just depends on the baby. Bryce has never had a problem with that and he’s on a pretty high dose.

Also, the Erythromycin didn’t work really well for Bryce until he was on that higher dose. When he moved from 0.5ml 3xday to 0.7ml 3xday his spitting up decreased dramatically.

Good luck!
