Mylanta

[Anonymous]

I have never used Mylanta or anything like it before. However, I am at my wits end with the afternoon and evening pain my son has. Do I need to give the Mylanta a certain amount of time before the feeding or can I give it immediately before? Is it a liquid that I use a syringe?

Thanks for the help.

you can try giving like 2mls and see what happens – increase it from there up to 5mls (teaspoon) at a time

you know its too much when the stools are loose…

can’t hurt ’em, just can be messy

We did 1/4 tsp every 2 to 4 hours at first (which is around 1 mL). That caused her to have really runny stools, so we cut it back to every 4 to 6 hours. We actually added it to her bottles per the ped GI’s suggestions.
