It is hard to know and the waiting is the worst, in America the zoton is used the most, its called prevacid there, we tried it, and Parker had some bad side effects, so we switched to losec. But there are just as many kids who didn't do well on losec, but great on the zoton, it is what it works for them.

It is hard to know what to do, thats why I always say go with your gut, and like you said some don't need the PPI's, but I try to warn people just because of our story life was so bad for so long because drs wouldn't put one and one together. And like I said not all babies need medicine but awareness is the key.

The its so hard to know what to do, this plays on your mind, it is hard and every day is different and as soon as you work it out they switch.

Also I thought it you who said 6-12 hours, it must have been somewhere else?

But yes cases like Miki and Parkers are rare (thankfully), I have been told by quite a few now, that if he has it at three he has it for life, he is three in 3 months. So that is quite sad, but Miki is far, far worse than Parker. She is such a sweetheart. I will have the decision soon as to a life of meds or the antireflux surgery, and I am just putting that out my mind for now.
