"Worked better this mornin. Altho those little balls get everywhere then i get worried he hasnt had enough. The nurofen syringe is def the best ive tried. Also dissolving the mups in a smaller medcine cup rather than a bottle worked well as it was…"

"How strange, I thought it was just my lo that does this. He hates being put in the car seat and goes ballistic...he usually calms once we get going. But it is horrible to think that i am making him uncomfortable. Also i have a baby wrap called…"

"oh dear , nothing is ever simple is it!! Good luck 2mrw morn, keep me updated with how it goes for you too. Hx"

"Hi Hannah... If u are going to do it with fruit purée... Don't tell ur Hv!!! Although I found a couple of spoons enough.. Literally because u need full tablet u don't need to worry about water volume so I used to mix a ml or 2 of…"

"I dont know??? My lo ois now 14lb 8oz and on 10mg...but im unsure if the dose is just purely based on thew weight? I suppose its just a case of trying it to see if its enough. We have been told to drop the ranitidine and just stick to the…"

"What is her book called? Thnx Hx"

"Great to hear some good stories of lo on omeprazole...there is hope the :) Hx"

"Thanks.This morning was a nitemare, i mixed it with far too much water and then it got stuck in my syringe! 2mrw will try using a very small amount of water and now have a nurofen syringe to use. Tried what i had left in babyrice, but lo got it…"

"Hi I was told didn't matter what time of day as long as about the same time, so I give it before his bedtime bottle. I dissolve 10mg tab in 10ml of apple juice in a medicine measuring pot. Then draw off his dose, which at mo is 7ml, with a…"

"He's been on it now for over 3 weeks. Was on 5 to start but 10 since last Monday and I'm seeing no let up since being on it. He had wind before but not this bad. So maybe better back on ranitidine then? I'm chatting to Alison scott…"

"Hi Emma, just looked and flatulence is listed as a common side effect of omeprazole so it may be that it is causing Ryan's problems. How long has he been on it for? We have had a couple of 'do's' with trapped wind, rock hard…"

"Hi Sarah  That's interesting you saying about the trapped wind whist on both. Ryans always had wind but it's been so bad since being on omep that I'm thinking it's omep causing this as was much better for wind on…"

"I do it same as Emma but with cool boiled water, usually he's pretty good but if he does spit any out I catch the balls (they contain the medicine, rest of sediment doesn't) and just put them back in his mouth. Faffy but worth it! x"

"Hiya, Caiden was on ranitidine 1ml 3x a day then had a cross over week along with 5mg omeprazole 2x a day - that week was rough as he didn't tolerate both meds well, had so much trapped wind but as soon as the week was up and he was on…"

"yeah took 10 days for a real difference, but the change in H was amazing. He was put on max dose of 15mg at around 15 wks. Still on 10mg now at 18months and u would never know he had reflux. Go for it!"

"Harry is so used to it now that he just sucks the syringe like a straw! I mix 10mg tablet with 10mls water."
