Tums

[Anonymous]

The NP recommended I give Aiyana Tums as a dietary supplement for her calcium intake since she can’t have milk and isn’t fond of rice milk. She said 1 tablet a day along with spinach, broccoli and some rice milk.

I was wondering if anyone on here has ever given their 1 year old tums and how it worked. As an added bonus she said it would help the reflux.

Laura (hellbennt) has given her son tums but only for acid I think. I think she said he likes them like they are candy now. We have been told by our doctor that when Colt can chew hard food that we could start him on tums also. Colt is 2 months older than your daughter but he can’t chew them yet. I guess you could crush them up.

Are rolaids any different than tums? they seem to disolve quicker for my son. I break it up into little pieces for him.

Tums makes a softer quicker dissolve form now don’t they?

Rolaids don’t have calcium in them like tums do. Tums do make a softer form now.

yup. I give jonah tums. more for when I think he’s got acid, which is kinda rare, but does happen- he’s 3.

I did start at 1yr, when he stopped his reflux meds (prevacid and zantac). I didn’t use the quick dissolve- not sure if they were around then- I just broke up the tums into quarters and gave it to him in pieces. he loved it! still does.

I use the smooth dissolve with my 2 1/2 yr old & have for quite awhile. I use them along with her Prevacid if she needs it. But, I also use it on days when she just doesn’t take in much calcium.

We’ve used the smooth dissolve for Kaelyn since she was about 14 months old. She loves them and always asks for more.
