DS is 2.5mo old and has reflux. We’ve been on prevacid solutab since mid Nov. I did noticed some improvement about a week after starting prevacid. DS didn’t scream in pain during nursing any more. He still occasionally cries after feeding but not nearly as bad as before. He slept very poorly from the very beginning. The sleep got a little better for 1-2weeks while on prevacid. He would actually sleep 2.5, occasional 3hr for the 1st stretch of the night, then would still wake up every 1-2hr after that. However the past week he seems to be doing worse at night, waking up every single hr or less. A few times is because his nose gets stuffed and we have to suction it. We have the humidifier on and it doesn’t seem to help. I’m suspecting that he is refluxing back to his nose. The last two days he is fussier after nursing. This morning he vomited after I nursed him. It was the most I’ve ever seen him throw up as he doesn’t usually spit up that much. He’s also drooling a lot the last 2 days. He has been on 7.5mg prevacid twice a day for almost a month. He is about 13lb. I’m wondering if we need to increase the dose. According to Marci kids, he can get 8-11mg three times a day. I find it hard to give three times a day since I work and don’t really want the nanny to give it. In addition, the 30min rule makes it a little hard since DS still doesn’t have a set schedule for feeding, sometimes he can go 3-4hr, sometimes he’s hungry after 1.5-2hrs. I gave him 3/4 of the 15mg tab twice today, but I don’t know if this would be okay. What do you think?
TIA!
