We saw Seth’s ped. GI today and he suggested Reglan at bedtime since Seth is still refluxing at night. He thought if we could clear his stomach out faster it would decrease/eliminate the evening reflux episodes. It is a very small dose.

I thought I had read somewhere that most of the scary side effects tend to happen in younger children but I am still a little nervous about trying it but am willing to if I thought it would help.

Has anyone ever used it this way or have more info.?

My son has been on Reglan .5 mil twice a day. It has worked very well for him. We have not had to increase the dose and I have not seen any of the potential neg. side effects. I know some people have very strong feeling against Reglan and I was nervous about it, but it really has helped Sebastian alot.

My dd was on reglan at 8 weeks old. She experienced some involuntary movements with it. We switched to bethanochol which did the same thing, but we felt was safer. She just had major drool issues on the bethanochol. I guess you could try a low dose of either one to see if it helps him. But… wouldn’t emptying his tummy cause him to wake up more because of hunger? Just a thought. Have you tried to give him zantac at night before bed? Is he on an incline? Hope he can get through this soon so he can sleep better!
