prilosec vs prevacid

[Anonymous]

I am new to this board, and very happy I found it! I have a 10 wk old who has been on Prilosec for 3 wks. It is helping his reflux, but he is sleeping worse now then 1 month ago! I was going to use prevacid acutabs, but couldnt administer them. I am breastfeeding and have been dairy free for 2 wks, thinking a protein sensiivity is causing his restlessness. Has anyone found this is caused by prilosec? is prevacid better? Or is it just that acid reflux babies are restless and bad sleepers!

hi & welcome!

try zegerid

it’s great for breastfed babies bcse you don’t have to

time around meals.

you’re probably giving a suspension & it most likely isn’t stable, ie: it loses it’s potency as you work your way through the bottle…

you HAVE to INSIST that it is made a certain way. You have to TELL the pharmacist to just humour you.

skim through this: https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6026 and scroll down to the purple, ‘Prevacid 101’ (also about prilosec) & look for HOW TO GET COMPOUNDS MADE

I have a LOT MORE to say

& (most of) it’s here:
