I also had the same problem. It really does taste bad if you taste it yourself, very bitter. I’d ask Amy, i think that you can add a drop of chocolate syrup to each dose. We did this to Hailey when she was much older though. In the end, we switched to the prevacid, I just couldn’t get her to take it with the prilosec b/c of the taste. But if it’s working well,and you’re not concerned about allergies, I’d find out what you can add to it. You can even ask Dr. Phillips- I think it was chocolate syrup or vanilla pudding powder, or something like that added to each dose. But ask Dr. P, as I used caracream, not bufferbabies. It’s so hard when you have to fight with them to take the meds, and half of it ends up on the floor! Hang in there.
