Prilosec liquid..what to mix with?

[Anonymous]

I’m so confused. When you get the prilosec compounded into liquid form, what do you use to help your babies take it. With the prilosec/sodium bicarbonate mixture I used apple juice and he seemed to e doing great. But then Dr. Phillips told me not to use an acidic liquid to mix because it’s bad and to use formula.

So now I’m using the Prilosec/caracream version and mixing it with formula and he doesnt’ seem to be doing that great?

any ideas?

not sure what to tell you? email dr philips?

Uggh, lost my reply.

Don’t mix it with anything acidic or it will degrade the med. If he’ll take it plain, then give it that way. If not, then you can mix it into a bit of formula. I personally wouldn’t add it to a whole bottle b/c if he doesn’t finish the whole thing then you’ll lose some of the med. Also, mix right before feeding. If it sits in the milk for too long it’s not good.
