Ours have a lable on them and they have numbers, I agree very confusing, I was just wondering if the numbers were the same.

I was going to say that if it isn't helping, then you don't necessarily need to start testing unless prescription medicine isn't working. So basically the first line of defence is generally zantac and give this two weeks, a lot of babies do really well on zantac as long as it is adjusted regularly with weight gain, if after a couple of weeks this is not helping then a different type of medication called a proton pump inhibitor is used, in Australia there is losec and zoton, which are generally used in babies.

We use losec, and getting it into a liquid has been a pain to find someone who does it, but now that is all sorted then life is good.

With reflux meds, the doctors will generally prescribe them on the principle of if they work, then it is reflux. Testing is not necessary unless there is rapid weight loss, Failure to thrive, the meds aren't working, or the reflux is persisiting past a year old. So definately get to a doctor and get them to listen.

Good luck, and if you have any questions please post.
