Hello! My daughter is 13 months old and has been taking Prilosec since she was 2 months old (tried Zantac before that). She was a silent refluxer and it was especially bad when I ate any dairy. She seems to have outgrown that sensitivity(at least w/the medicine!). I am wanting to try and wean her from the Prilosec and see if she is now okay without medicine. I remember with my son, we slowly went from Prilosec to Zantac and then lowered the Zantac doseage over a series of weeks until we were medicine free. He was 22 months before we got him off. I can’t remember exactly how to do the weaning though. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!!

Myles was on Prevacid, 10 mg / 3 times per day. I started by dropping it to 7.5 mg / 3 tmes per day. I think I did this for a week. Then I dropped his mid-day dose. Again for about a week. Then I stopped his morning dose. Finally when he seemed fine I dropped his bedtime dose. The whole wean took about a month.

Good luck!
