T - I think most people get the 2 x 1/2tablets daily. Maybe you should call your GP and ask if she can 'confirm' that and give that a shot as well.
I had a look at Aidens charts last night, at 6weeks, he was 4.75kg, I am not sure how much A weighs now, but, I would think it would be ok to give him the 2 x 1/2 tablet dose's. I dont think it is weight related dosage, as Aiden stayed on that dosage right up to 6months. And, A's reflux is worse then Aidens, so, i really feel that he needs more.
Perhaps a GP cant authorise that higher dose amount? Not sure.
thats the thing, when i was at the dr, i was SURE he said 2 x half tablet a day, but when i got to the chemist he told me once a day and i questioned him about it, he went to double check the script and came back and said it definately said once a day. Do you reckon i should ring the dr and ask??
I do have a swing but its an upright one and he doesn't have the head strenght for it yet, wish i got a laying down one but they are so pricey.
The carrier Ali leant me though is helping to settle him because i've now figured out how to put him in it so he's upright! so thats a godsend. Once he's deeply asleep i can transfer him to the couch because he likes to sleep in front of the heater, but he still only catnaps for half hour etc.
Last night dh said he could feel all this gurging in his tummy and you can hear the stuff coming back up so his reflux is definately worse than my first ds was.
NOw that he's asleep i was thinking i should make his daily dose of losec, do you think its okay to make it now and leave it sitting in the syringe until he wakes up?
Okay so i rang him and he said that for his age and weight he would only prescribe half tablet daily... he said we can reassess in a week but that he won't prescribe any more he would have to refer me on to a paed for a higher doesage... so maybe thats why you got more debbie because you saw the paed. Bugger, i guess i'll have to wait and see.
