weaning from prevacid

[Anonymous]

Ok. Not sure if i should post here? My daughter is 10 months. She has been on prevacid since about 2 months after no hope with the zantac. Sheis on 7.5 in the morning and 7.5 in the afternoon. My question is how to wean? When to wean? And signs of not being ready to wean. She eats table food so she barley gets 16oz of formula a day because we cant get her to take it. She loves food but hates the formula. So how do i know if shes refluxing if she already doesnt want the bottle?

try carafate for a good two weeks & see if she takes any more formula? what does ped or ped GI say about formula intake? is she hydrated? will she drink water? are you adding formula to food? I would hold off on weaning from meds (low dose anyway?) until you have answers about food intake & hydration. how are poops?

Her ped said it was fine. Shes still gaining weight, not dehydrated. Poops are also fine. She eats almost only table food. She wont take baby food anymore. She has a small amout of juice throughout the day (not enough for her to stop with formula) she eats a bottle 4x’s a day and 3 meals. amandasmith68072014-01-21 08:27:13
