Hi ya chuck, you can give Omeprazole with jucie or yoghurt, should help hide the taste.

Hi, My son was a nightmare taking omeprazole too but (and this wil obviously only apply if you've started/are going to start weaning soon) we now mix it in with his breakfast cereal and he takes it fine. It is quite chalky and gritty, no wonder…

My daughter is on a 5mg tablets each day. What we do is dissolve it in hot water then suck it up through a small syringe then when she is drinking her bottle we sneakily scoosh it in the side of her mouth, She hardly notices it as she is hungry for…

How do you get baby to take their medicine?

Hi all, im after any tips on getting bubs to take omeprazole? She is 19 weeks and is on 7 mls omeprazole once a day and 1.7 mls domperidone 3 times a day plus gaviscon and nutramigen milk. She takes the domperidone fine but spits every bit of omeprazole out so her reflux hasnt got a chance of improving. Has anyone tried one of those medicine dummys? i hold a normal dummy in at the same time and tip her back so far shes almost upside down but still i reckon 90% comes out. any tips or advice…See More

Hi Tanya, hope baby is starting to take the milk better for you. Im already using lactose free milk so maybe a hypoallergenic one is the next step for me to try. Its so depressing when you think things are improving and you might get your life back…

Hi Lou, its so disheartening isnt it when you get a few good days and you see how it can be, but the reflux comes back and it feels worse. When i went to the hospital my doctor sent me via A and E, but after that we went over to Monkton Ward where…

When i went to the hospital my doctor sent me via A and E, but after that we went over to Monkton Ward where we saw a consultant. They are the ones who took her off ranitidine and put her on omeprazole and domperidone. While i was there they took some blood to be tested for a milk intolerance, and prescribed me Nutramigen hypoallergenic milk. They said to try this for 2 weeks then go back to my doctor with any problems, and wait to go back to see them again in 5 weeks. So far she's improved in herself, but is refusing feeds and just screams when i try to feed her. I found that i had to be quite pushy with the doctors to try and get them to look at other solutions, firstly they will try everything possible with medication before doing any kind of investigations. im seeing my doctor again tomorrow.
Let me know how you get on Thursday, hope it goes well and they get your little one on the right medication.
