My daughter has dge and silent reflux treated w prevacid. How do I get both bottles and solids into her during the day if she is slow to empty?

What are feeding frames of reference that worked, ie feeding schedules or patterns?

She doesn’t cry for hunger so IU just periodically offer her food every 3 hrs.

Please give me some ideas as she is starting feeding therapy next week.

Also is it normal to occassionally arch while still on prevacid, dosage of 36 mg per day???

HI, that is a pretty high dose, actually the highest I have ever heard of for a person. (my son never went higher than 30 mg of prevacid). She really should not be in pain, I dont think. Are you making sure to give the med on an empty stomach and follow up with a full bottle/meal 30-60 minutes later? That is important to get the full effect of the medication.

I also feed every 3 hours. Good luck to you.
