no apologies needed! welcome!
I’m about to go to bed, but I can answer your questions/give you links so that you can understand & answer your questions
first of all do not stop the zantac! I learned this the hard way, so really, keep w/ the zantac making sure to space it 4hrs from the prevacidnext:you need to figure out proper prevacid dose (actually you need to figure out proper zantac dose, too!) & go from there- no need to be concerned w/ MLs of the medicine, rather MGs of the medicine-please readPrevacid 101:

you need to give the solutab on an empty stomach, followed by a ‘meal’ 30 minutes lateragain, don’t worry about the MLS of water that you add- you can give as much or as little water as you want/need- you can hold the solutab (or piece of it) along the inside of baby’s cheek and wash down w/ water from a syringe or a bottle or a nipple (not attached to a bottle), etc.you can make the prevacid a paste and give on your finger and wash down, you can make it a liquid w/ a lot of water- it’s up to you and what works for your baby…please read all you can!here’s zantac dosing:
