Hi All,

Thanks for all the help re my other Reflux thread. It's been a really difficult time!

Ari saw a Dr on Thurs and last night we got her Losec suspension. She's on the minimum dose (2.5ml) once a day to start off - Dr said dose will go up as she starts to gain weight.

I tried to give it to her yesterday and she HATES the taste. Spits it all out. It doesn't taste too bad to me (licked a bit of my finger), but she doesn't like it.

My only options are to stick the syringe in her mouth as far as possible and squirt (and try not to get it down her windpipe) or mix it with her formula (which I did this morning - she drank it, but still didn't like the taste).

Will it still take effect if I mix it with her formula? I can't seem to find an answer to this one.

Also - the thickener. We're using a seperate Karicare thickener which has worked to cut down the vomiting (still get one or two big projectile a day) - but it's been binding her up! Argh! She's very close to being constipated so we've cut down on the thickener (from 1/2 the scoop to a 1/4), but I have read that the Losec works best when the baby is also having a thickener, is this true?

Thanks for putting up with all my questions...I just want to see my baby looking calm and relaxed and without a horrible frown on her face or screaming all the time. :-(
