hi
& welcome! you’ve found a great place!

the
key to all of this is RESEARCH and, of course, support!

http://www.marci-kids.com is at the FOREFRONT
of research of PPI use and dosing in infants/todders. You might want to
start there to see if PPI dose is ‘proper’ –

(it sounds as if it IS! congratulations!

now, are you giving it in two doses? please continue reading)

then,
hop back here to learn HOW to get that proper dose, if need be, and what FORM of PPI and HOW to administer…

Prevacid
101(last post on the page): https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1936&PN=0&TPN=1

unfortunately
the majority of drs & pharmacists don’t know…babies metabolisms’ are much
faster than adults, so the drugs work differently with them…

after
medication, you might then want to look at diet…

I
have a LOT MORE TO SAY! and most of it is here: Groupie Intro: https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=853

it’s
looong, but PLEASE read/skim/scroll through it & refer back to it, as it
TRULY will help you!

so
glad you found us!

ps: when you
get a moment, please go to the upper right-hand corner of this screen and click
on ‘settings’ and from there you can edit your signature and let us know how
old baby is, what formula or breastfeeding, MSPI or not, what meds and
what doses and form of meds and how you’re administering-thanks!
