Though I guess these are for all the PPI’s.

1/ this is about dose spacing. If you are suppose to give 3x daily, does that mean every 8 hrs, which would put one in the middle of sleep time. I can dream feed my boy and give it then, but it would be easier during the day. That would make the times something like 6am 1pm and 7pm.

What do you all do?

2/ what if they throw it back at you within about 5 mins of the dose, do you repeat it? This just happened this morning as I gave it to him just after a full feed. NOt smart and I won’t do it again, but it raised the question for me.

Thanks for your help

We gave Sarah a dose at breakfast (or first morning bottle), then at midday and again in the evening. We never did a middle of the night dose. Usually every 5 hours or so.

I think if it is a rare occassion, it wouldn’t hurt to re-dose after spitting it up that quickly. After all, you have to give a LOT of PPI to overdose a baby. However, Im not a doctor so I hate to advise that. Once he has been on the zegerid for a while you will find that missing one dose (or spitting a lot of it out) won’t hurt him that much as long as he gets the other doses for the day and continues his regular schedule after that. Sarah missed a dose here or there and it never bothered her.

Hope that helps! Good luck!

I agree with Amy. We also did the three doses.. about 7, 1:30 and 7. And I did redose after spitting, especially if I saw that it was the medicine he was spitting up. I usually wouldn’t do another full dose though, just tried to gauge what I thought he had spit up.

Thanks guys. I’m pleased not to have to bother with a middle of the night dose.
