I’d suggest asking for a different med (like Preavacid, but not compounded Prevacid, or Zegerid).

Also, many docs underdose our babies because they are not aware of some current research that shows babies need higher PPI doses than adults due to their fast metabolism. You can read about this at http://www.marci-kids.com

Good luck and glad you found us.

she was a major silent refluxer until 10 months, she takes nexium, 20 mg in am and 20 in pm and is eating a lot better!!!

I needed over 30 mg of prevacid to get her without pain, close to 36 mg and nexium i heard lasts longer in a baby’s system.

My littler gerdling is on Nexium and we have had good luck with it. Ashlynn has been on Neiuxm since she was about 2 months-Zantac(got up to 2ml -3x’s a day), Prevacid 30mg (1/2 in am and 1/2 pm). We did not see any success until the Nexium, she also takes Erthromycin 2ml 3x’s a day. She starting to sleep better and having a little less reflux issues, but she does have a bad day or two.

So answer to your question Nexium did work for us. The med is a little tricky to give. We have the oral suspenion that comes in a packet. I have to divide the med inhalf(on wax paper), she gets one half in the am and the other in the pm. I mix it with 10ml H20 , wait just a little and draw the med up in a syringe that Walmart gave us. It took a liite awhile to get a system down to make sure all the little beads come out.But the bigger kicker is you have to wait 30min before feeding and Ash gets a little upset at times. So i have learned to turn the radio on and we dance waiting for 30 min to go by,
