I have been giving Jackson’s prevacid solutab 30 minutes after his first morning feeding. So, he has about 2 hours before his next feeding. After reading the posts, it seems like it is more effective to give him the solutab when he first wakes up and then wait 30 minutes to feed him. Is this correct?

Yes, that is definitely what is recommended because of how the drug works. I don’t know if you can even see good results without giving it on an empty stomach and then following up with a feed 30-60 minutes later??? I’ve never tried it that way.

It’s hard to make a little one wait for that first feeding of the day, but I think it’s really worth it. Distract him with everything you can think of to hold off at least 30 minutes, and see if that helps. I would even try to give him the medicine 30 minutes earlier than you expect him to wake up; maybe he’d go back to sleep and then you could feed him when he first wakes up for the day.

Good luck!!

I don’t think that 30 minutes is a long enough time after a feeding to consider the stomach empty. I believe it needs to be at least 1-2 hours (which I know is difficult). That’s why many moms try to give it first thing in the morning. If you can’t wait, you can try to call marci-kids and find out about caracream.

Definatley it needs to be on an empty stomach and 30 min isn’t long enough. I give Cooper his first hting in the morning and then right before dinner. He has a snack b/t 3:30 and 4pm and then I give him his dinner dose at 5pm and dinner at 5:30pm… I try really hard to make sure there is at least 1.5hrs between his snack and dinner dose but doesn’t always work, but since it is a snack and he doesn’t eat much as he is feeding himself then an hour is okay if need be.

This morning I gave it to him when he first woke up at 6:30 a.m. and then waited 30 minutes to feed him. His feeding prior to that had been at 3 am. That is ok, right?

That sounds fine….I’ve always read that it should be at least two hours from the last meal.
