Hey Delara only just getting back to you sorry. It does sound like your little one has a more severe case of reflux than Harper has experienced. She has .8mg 3 x a day. The last couple of days i have seen a few signs of her reflux again (indication that we're not ready to wean?), i kind of thought it was a diet issue (from me, had some homemade pizza) but i suppose time will tell if the zantac is or isn't working.
I have been told that Zantac's prescribed dosage goes by weight and as bub puts on weight the dosage also needs to be increased, otherwise yes it won't continue to work so well.
It's horrible to hear you say you felt like a looser but i understand where you're coming from. It's so hard when it's clear your little one needs help but you don't know what to do. I'm just glad that you were able to find a dr that would help and that you are getting results.
Mizqtie how is your little one going? I am so sorry you were feeling so helpless and receiving no help. I really hope you've found someone who was willing to help you and bub by now. My little one fed constantly also, up until she was on zantac she would feed every two hours and only sleep for about and hour at a time. Once she was on the zantac things did get gradually better and she began to feed less and sleep longer. I hope things are improving for you.
Big hugs. Crying on top of sleep deprivation is not easy to cope with but it will get better. I don't have many words of advice, but i wanted to ask whether you have heard of Cranial Osteopathy? My friend saw one for her daughters Colic and it made a big improvement. I've read lots of good reviews on the net about this therapy.
Hi Riss10 i had given the osteopath a go in the early weeks, it was around the same time we started on the zantac so hopefully with both i was helping my bub to feel more comfortable. If it wasn't for BB i wouldn't have 'thought outside square' in regards to helping with anything other than medication. It's a great thing when we can all share our thoughts and expereinces.
Around the time of my last post (just before my little one was 3 months) the reflux came back so her dose was increased. We are still on that same dose now 1 month later but last night she was showing a few signs of it returning again I don't think we've seen the last of the reflux just yet.
