Hi Liz
Well Poppy's on ranitidine now and has been for about 3 weeks but unfortunately it's not the miracle we were hoping for things have been worse than ever. Poppy has reached new heights of screaming. We're going for a barium swallow on Monday s…
ranitidine is an acid suppressant, so reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. whereas omprezole is an acid blocker and stops the production. we didnt get on with omprezole. had ranitidine, domperidone and gaviscon. but in end most issues…
Hi Liz
Hope you got on ok at the paed? We've actually had a really good day and I thought I would post a quick msg while Poppy is sleeping and before I pick up my other two from nursery. I know what you mean Poppy has been an angel today and laughi…
Hi Liz
I weaned my LO early at 4 months and i am glad i did it, in the long run it slowly improved things and my LO is now 10 months and a happier soul. My HV advised me to as my LO was doing ok with weight. I am not sure about other circumstances.…
Hi there
Our 4 month old is on ranitidine and due to be reviewed tomorrow. I note your comments about weaning and am nervous about doing so early but his weight is dropping so I guess I might not have any choice. Do you know what the diff is betwee…
Hi there
We've had a shocking day here ! Sickness and very little milk and howling. The GP wanted to give me Gaviscon but the paed gave us ranitidine with no bother at all. We've got a check up tomorrow I'll post another message to you after that.…
Hi, regarding ranitidine - remember that it is WEIGHT DEPENDENT so get your lo weighed regularly and ask the chemist to check the dosage against the weight. Also ppi's like omeprazole do take about a fortnight for them to build up in the system. Whe…
Well so far one week on Omeprazole seems to be the answer to our prayers, hurrah!
The dose has been upped from 4mg to 8mg daily, which I have to make up with tablets and mix with cool boiled water, mmm!
She is certainly a much more settled baby, and…
Hi Liz
Yeah I know what you mean I asked my HV today about weaning and she's said to wait and ask the paed next week. I feel like so much is hinging on this appointment I see your LO is on ranitadine did you get it easy enough? I'm just scared of g…
Hi
Same here, I'm really hoping that solids will help. We're also having a bad patch with a lot of crying and his weight has dropped and are also due to see the paed this week. I asked HV today about baby rice but they said the same, wait as long a…
Hi
I've not started solids yet but have an appointment may help with my HV tomorrow which I'm going to discuss with her. The last time I spoke to her about it she had said to wait as long as possible but we're going through quite a bad phase at the…

Hi and welcome. My LO has just turned 4 months and we are currently on Nutrimigem and Gaviscon. We are waiting to see the Paed so aren't on any other meds at the moment but from the sound of it it sometimes takes a couple of tries before the right m…
