    You CAN cut them in half, the balls will stay in tact when cut, just not when crushed.

    Dissolving in breast milk is fine babyluv! Are you able to confirm with your GP the dosage? 2.5mg is low, but a good place to start.

    Hope it goes ok for you xxxx

    oh hun i feel for u my dd has severe reflux and screamed and cried for hours our record was from 5pm-10am straight of screaming and no sleep so i know how it feels to feel helpless the recommended dosage is approx 1mg per kilo of weight so if she weighs 5kgs then 5mgs a day would be the dose however they do sometimes prescribe over this my dd is 15 montgs and still on it and is not yet 10kgs but has been on 10mgs for awhile now. it took a few weeks to kick in but this is because my dd had a burnt out throat so that had to heal first as she was on zantac which did nothing for the reflux . i hope she gets some relief soon and u get some sleep xox
