Does anyone know why Dr Phillips likes you to mix this with water and mylanta?

I didn;t want to bug him again if possible, just curious because my pedi doesn’t do it that way so I wanted to know what the significance of it was.

Thank you…all of you are so helpful.

If you were given the 20mg packets (which I’m thinking you were…) you do NOT have to add the mylanta. The extra buffer is ONLY needed with the 40mg packets. Hope that helps!

Hmm, that’s weird he would tell you to add it. Maybe he misunderstood what you were given, since children under two are “supposed” to use the 40 mg? (We used the 20mg w/ no problems) Marci-kids says you do not need it for the 20mg packets?? Regardless…I’m so glad to hear Connor is doing well with it so far!

I know it is weird.. he wrote out 20 mg packs him self when he was telling me how to mix it, so he knows. We are just gonna mix it with water and if he needs it, I will give him Mylanta then.
maybe Dr p just threw it in there because ti doesn’t hurt to. I emailed him to ask him but I haven’t hear back.
