Prevacid: Dose it wrong or skip the dose?

I would think that it is better to dose wrong than not at all. less effective is better than no effective. Is there anyway to give the medicine to your day care with instructions that if it is 5:00 and you aren’t there, they are to give it to her? Just a thought.

or i would do it possibly in the morning? or if you do morning already.. than i would have the people at daycare give it to her maybe right before her snack even?

I feel a little naughty every time i post this.

I always give Alana her Zoton “incorrectly”. Almost always she gets it immediately before a feed. Despite this it makes a huge difference. I wondered if it would make more of a diff to wait the 1/2 hours so I tried it for a few days once…well she was still the same (other than all the screaming she did waiting for her feed). So I just went back to immediately before. In saying this, maybe if I actually gave did it “correctly” she could go on a lower dose. But it has just never worked that I can arrange the 1/2 hr- she wakes starving and feeds so frequently that it doesn’t ever fit in on an “empty stomach”. I have tried sneaking it in before she wakes up- but it just makes her wake up 1/2 hours early!!

So I guess giving it wrong is better than not at all- but for most bubs it is better to give it “correctly” to get the max benefit.

In no way to I advocate the no wait thing- I agree with others that the marci-kids stuff is very credible and I am certainly no expert. But this is just what worked for all of us- Alana and me and our lifestyle- so we have been lucky.
