Some of you know that we added Pepcid Complete before bed to Seth’s regime and it truly worked wonders. He was actually sleeping through the night! This was about 1 1/2 months ago. Well, the past three nights have been h*ll again reflux wise. He is waking 3-4 hours after going to bed thrashing around, arching and you can hear the reflux. We have given him Mylanta and he settles back down but it takes a while. Anyway, do you think he has already outgrown the Pepcid dose (we are giving 1/2 a tablet which is what his GI confirmed he should have)??? I have never contacted Marci Kids but do you think Dr. P may have some advice? Seth weighs right at 30 lbs. TIA.

yeah dr p is the one that gave me my sons dosage. he has been taking half a tablet also. but since your son is a year older he may need a bit more? i know that half a tablet is recommended to babies that are just a few months old. i would email dr p and see what he says. nataliachick72007-6-7 14:32:6

Dr. Phillips gave us our dosage as well. We actually give Briannna a whole tablet (no more prevacid, but everytime I try to stop the pepcid it seems to be a no go), but we give 1/2 before her first nap and 1/2 before bed. good luck!
