i want to get an otc medicine for in between my sons doses of zantac. which do you all prefer, mylanta, pepcid complete or gavistad?? hes 14j pounds…he already has very runny poops so im leaning away from the mylanta. fyi he is also a very gassy baby if that makes any difference? thanks for all the help..this site is a godsend…
Because of his age, I would talk with the doc about anything other than the mylanta. You could try the infant gas drops for his gas, we put it in every bottle that Cooper has and in between if needed.
I am meeting with the pedi GI for the first time on Monday (7/9). I am going to ask him about this. My son is 8 wks old and weighs about 11 lbs. I will post after talking with him.
My pead Oked Gaviscon at this age and weight. Same dose as mylanta. It works differently…it forms a raft on the stomach contents so that it doesn’t “reflux”. I didn’t use it much really and didn’t really notice a great effect, but that was when Alana’s reflux wasn’t controlled.
