I am curious:

How old is your baby?

How much does he/she weigh?

What meds is he/she taking and how much?


My son is 15 weeks old. He weighs 20 lbs. I just increased his Zantac to 1.4 ml 2x/day. The ped. had increased it from 1 to 1.2 ml but after a week or so it wasn't working. It seems like everyone else's babies take more meds.

Thanks for your replies!

How old is your baby?
<b>He'll be 8 months next week.</b>

How much does he/she weigh?
<b>About 24 pounds</b>

What meds is he/she taking and how much?
<b>Prilosec - 3.5 ml 2x/day (I believe that equates to 14 mg/day)</b>

For comparison purposes, at 10 weeks old (and about 15 pounds), he was on .9 ml Zantac 2x/day.
