Hi Mamas - The doctor agreed to up Mimi's dosage of Prevacid to 15 mg per day.
: If there was a smiley that would convey sobbing with happiness, I would use that one! If it's possible, she seems ina much better mood already and the vomiting/spitup has been so much better today.
So, she is on the Prevacid solu-tabs. The little tablets that dissolve in the mouth or in a little bit of water. The problem (as should be fairly evident) is that my 5 month old isn't exactly a willing participant as far as taking it. I've been putting the current dose (half a tab) in a baby spoon of water and spooning it in, but a lot of it goes down her chin or into her neck fold. I asked if there was something I could maybe put in a little spoon full of carrots or mashed banana and the pharmacist didn't think that would work very well.
Anyone have any tips? this morning, the full dose went ALL into her neck fold. Which was cute, but not really helpful. At this point, I really wish it came in a liquid form.
