Hi, our little one is 3 weeks old and on zantac. Has anyone had experience withthe otc prevacid, our dr wants to keep her on zanta but I dont feel its working. Our son was on prevacid and was alot happier and more comfy.

Hey, Tosha

My daughter used to be on Zantac and it wasn’t doing anything for her, but now shes on Nexium. but that wasn’t working too well either but now I give her Nexium in the morning and Zantac at night.

Hi! Well things are going good. She is on Neocate now and I put simply thick in her botttles versus the cereal as I think it made her gassy…. and has gained a pound in a week! I also ordered the caracream and am doing her prevacid that way versus the solu-tabs. She is sleeping much better, has her nights that are better than others. Has anyone had an of their reflux babies want to sleep on their tummy? She loves to sleep on her tummy and sleeps great, but it makes me darn nervous. I know back in the day thats how babies slept. Thanks a bunch for checking, I think we are finally on the right track.

hey, Hellbennt can you tell me why Mylanta cherry supreme is used for ? Is it ok to give it to my 3 month old.

[hellbennt]

it’s a ‘band-aid’ solution to settle baby down. safe for newborns. this particular variety doesn’t have any aluminum.

you give in 1ml doses throughout the day/night as needed- up to 5ml (that’s 1tsp) over a 24hr period.

if you see loose stools, just back off.

used this stuff all.the.time. even on my non-reflux baby…

can NOT be given w/ PPI; needs to be spaced about 2hrs from it.

CAN be given w/ zantac and, in fact, sometimes helps the zantac go down.

hth (hope this helps)
