yes, there’s a BIG difference…
please excuse the way the following ‘looks’- I’m having a very hard time w/ copying & pasting from MSWord to Mozilla Firefox…
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’
then,
hop back here to learn HOW to get that proper dose, if need be, and what FORM of PPI and HOW to administer…

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!
