Hi! I’m new! (New-ish. I think I posted here when my 2yo was an infant with reflux.)

I have a 6.5 week old baby who weighs somewhere between 11 and 12 pounds. She started exhibiting reflux symptoms when she was a couple of weeks old. We started her on Prevacid two weeks ago. We are using the compound . . . Prevacid 3MG and she gets 2.5ml . . . we started her off doing it once a day and last week we started doing it twice a day.

Initially I felt like the Prevacid was helping but ironically enough, ever since moving to 2x/day I feel like things have gotten much worse?! She’s spitting up and fighting the bottle worse than ever.

We did the Solutabs with our DD#1 and I hated dissolving them BUT I am now reading on here that they might be more effective?

What would be your first step? Push for a higher dose of the Prevacid compound *OR* ask for Solutabs?

HELP! God, reflux just sucks.

hi & welcome!

I have a lot to say and most of it is in Groupie Intro:

https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=853

First of all, from groupie intro, please read Prevacid 101– there is info there to explain all about prevacid, prilosec, nexium, protonix & why it’s important to look at FORM, DOSE and ADMINISTRATION.

Groupie intro is loooong, but it truly will help you!

YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB!!!!
