Reflux meds
Ok so my little guy has reflux. He is 8 weeks old today. Before we got in with a pediatrician I came across enfamil spit up formula which it thickened with rice and it made a drastic change in his symptoms. Much happier baby but still having some reflux symptoms. 2 weeks passed and we finally got in with the pediatrician and he prescribed lansoprazole (Prevacid I beleive) low dose of 1.6mls once a day. For the first few days he seemed more content during the day(chilling in his swing and bouncer chair which he would rarely do before) but now we are taking major steps backwards....yesterday was one week on the meds and now he is having trouble sleeping again, squirming and grunting at night and after bottles. This morning it took an hour to feed his bottle as he wanted to eat but kept turning his head back and forth. Talked with the pediatrician yesterday and he said to stick it out one more week and maybe we will try another med. I feel like I just want to take him off the meds all together! And now Im scared of the acid attack we are going to have if we go off! We take one step forward and 5 steps back 🤦♀️. Anyone else go thru this or have any advice?
