Is she eating a few ounces thirty minutes after the dose of Prevacid? The feeding 30 minutes later is what activates the drug.
As for what’s better, the capsules are trickier to administer because you have to open them and pour them over applesauce (I’m not sure how it’s made with caracream, but I know some babies on the board have been on that combo). Both forms of the med should be as effective, but the solutabs do contain some added ingredients which bother some babies. Is she worse after her dose?
It does take about two weeks for most babies to get relief once they start on Prevacid, so maybe she just needs a little more time on it.
I would think 2.5 hours would be long enough to wait between the Prevacid and the Carafate, but I don’t know for sure.
It’s possible that she’s reacting to the formula you are feeding her. Lots of reflux babies are also MSPI (milk/soy protein intolerant). Have you tried a hypo formula like Alimentum? Or, are you b/feeding?
