Question: I just learned that my newborn who is only 11 days old has Acid Reflux. How do you provide babies with medication, and what types of medication should you provide?
The medical team informed me that he has Acid Reflux. I just want to know what medications are prescribed. He is spitting up all of his formula. We’ve used every available formula, even the lactose free and soy varieties. Furthermore, breast milk was also used. He vomits everything up.
He used Zantac for acid reflux. It was recommended that I use a syringe and give him a full-strength dose. After several unsuccessful attempts at this, we went with Becker’s method.
The healthcare professional may not order anything, depending on how much discomfort he is in.
Answer: There are additional things that can be done to help with reflux:
- let him remain upright for a minimum of 30 minutes following a meal
- give him half portions, twice as often
- burp following each ounce or two of liquid he has (these are the suggestions, but in my case, it made things worse for my son)
- raise the head of his sleeping area by 30 degrees
- use OTC gas medicine, such as Mylicon
I expect he will be doing better quickly.
Answer: I just read your extra details. Is he gaining weight? What is the course of action the doctors said they would take? Were more tests performed? Did they indicate that they would be giving him some medication?
Answer: From what I understand and from my experience with it, Zantac and similar acid reducers do not prevent babies from spitting up, nor do they decrease the quantity of spit-up. I believe it just neutralizes a little bit of the stomach acid so that when they throw up, they don’t feel burning in the esophagus as bad. I cannot tell you how medications work because I am not a health professional, however that is how it appeared to me.
Answer: Does it cause problems if he spits it up? In case you’re not aware of them, formulas specifically designed for babies with reflux do exist. One recommendation is to add some baby cereal to the bottle. This will make the milk heavier and keep it down. Obviously you need to talk to your medical professional prior to changing formulas or the addition of solid food.
Answer: My baby had reflux and the physician prescribed losec pills that I had to break up and mix with a small amount of water and use a syringe to push it down her throat; although it was not the best method, it worked well. Giving smaller amounts at feeding time on a regular basis will help.
Answer: Giving a lesser amount on a set schedule will be beneficial.
Answer: Gaviscon can be administered to babies, but I am not sure at what age it is permissible. Maybe not at a very young age.
Answer: You can seek out anti-reflux treatments if they are still taking formula.
Answer: Reglan is a commonly prescribed reflux medicine. It is available in liquid form. All you do is place it in a tiny amount of breastmilk or formula and it is wise to provide it a half hour prior to a feeding. Provide a bit of breastmilk or formula afterwards. Provide food as normal after your baby sucks down the milk with medication in it.
Answer: Often, babies are given the same acid reducing medications that adults are given. What distinguishes them is that they are crushed and made into a suspension by the pharmacist. Ask the pharmacist to add a bit of flavor to it to take the medicine taste away. Medications to treat that problem were prescribed for my son and the pharmacist would not add any flavoring to it…. And it tasted disgusting! I put it in my mouth so I could find out the reason my son was crying bloody murder and spitting it out again. The taste was like I chewed the pill rather than just swallowing it.
Answer: If you have a family history of milk sensitivity, you can take a look at another option. The issue might not be milk intolerance related. In my son’s case, we eventually learned that he didn’t even have acid reflux. He was allergic to milk casein. The sugars are not the issue but rather the proteins in the dairy. The fact is soy milk was even being expelled. Neutramagen or Allimentum can work if the pediatrician agrees. These two formulas are pretty similar. They just have different brand names and the protein is broken down in a different manner in each so that the baby does not react. Your best option is to ask your pediatrician if you can redeem a coupon for a free can of Neutramagen to test it out first. My son was healed of vomiting and crying within 48 hours without needing medicine.
Answer: We tried two different medications when my son had it. Zantac was the first medication we tried, giving it in a syringe in liquid form. After some time, I questioned her about something else since Zantac appeared to have stop working and then she gave him Prevacid, which are pills that have to be dissolved and then pushed through a syringe or stirred into his baby food jar. The pediatrician said we were not to use it in bottles. But that was aggravating so we returned to using Zantac, which actually is very effective. I realize that continually cleaning up spit up can be bothersome; then you feel bad for your child because you realize that it must be painful. Take heart though; it won’t be long before they outgrow this problem, so just hang tough.
Answer: When he was in the NICU, my son was given Reglan and Zantac. I cannot think of the name of it, but I think they have a new medication on the market that is supposed to perform better than the traditional ones. His was inserted into a syringe-like apparatus (of course, without the needle) and slowly trickled into his mouth while he swallowed it. Your pharmacist will give you the syringes to provide the medicine when you go to your pharmacy. Some mothers measure it out, give the baby a bottle nipple to suck on, add a little milk to the medicine, and hold the nipple until the baby sucks out all of the liquid. Diluting the medication in this manner normally works if the child fusses about taking the medications because of the foul taste. We were very lucky, my son would slurp his medication from the syringe. It was grape flavoring… of course, the grape flavoring helped!
