I finally got a call back and the GI is upping his dosage to15mg.

And changing from the Compund to Solutabs. SO I have read

some other posts and it seems that holding it against the cheek

is the eaier way to give it. (he is getting 1/2 in a 1/2 in pm)

My question is abut giving it on an empty tummy. How do you do this

in the morning? Do you get them up and then give it? I generally feed first thing so I am thinking it might be tought to hold him a 1/2 hour?

What do you guys do?

Also how long after a feed do you have to wait?

I take it you are bf. We are on formula and Cooper still takes one feed at night so in the morning as soon as he wakes I give him his meds and then let him either play in bed with dh or he goes in our den to play, usally works well b/c he has lots of stuff to keep him occupied, don’t know what we will do when he is sleeping through the night. Some moms will go in and give it to them while they are sleeping and then wake them up, but that never worked for us so we just tough it out. Usually an empty stomach means 1.5-2hrs after a feed, HTH.

Hi there,

I don’t remember how old your son is, but you might be able to slip in a solutab while he is still sleeping. We’re on the powder packets, so it isn’t feasible. It’s hard to wait the minimum 30 minutes in the morning for us too, but I think it’s really worth it to do everything you can so that the medicine can be as effective as possible.

We usually go outside for a stroll or to rock on the front porch…my son loves being outside. Also, my 2-year-old is great at entertaining him, even without intending to 🙂 Lots of changing scenery, from room to room, if nothing else; toys, books, music, etc.

Good luck!!
