My three month old has acid reflux. He’s on Zantac. Could the medication cause him not to gain weight? He’s breastfed.

Question

Or would it help him to actually gain weight instead?

Answer

Babies with acid reflux often have problems gaining weight from spitting up so much. If the medicine helps getting the spit up under control, he would gain weight

Answer

It should help him to gain weight as acid reflux can make you lose weight if you vomit too much

Answer

I would mention it to your pediatrician or pharmacist. They will have accurate information. And the pediatrician has the health history.
