"Unfortunately they don't want us to give him any solids until he's had his endoscopy. Thank you all for your help, but it sounds like we're just going to have to battle with this!"

Helen replied to cshimmon's discussion Omeprazole suspension problems"How old is your baby? I have heard of Paed's saying that you can give fruit puree/smoothie to tiny babies for meds. Fruit is easily digested. Suprised Paed has not mentioned this?"
cshimmon replied to cshimmon's discussion Omeprazole suspension problems"That's no good either. He can't have milk within half an hour of the omeprazole- don't ask me why though! We give all his meds by syringe, but the omeprazole is so foul that he gags the second he can taste it. His ranitidine and…"
Pat replied to cshimmon's discussion Omeprazole suspension problems"Gosh getting babies to take this meds is half the struggle. Can you ask gp/dietician if perhaps you can flavour it, sorry not much help to you. Sounds like we were lucky in that we could hide it in food! what about syringing (sorry about spelling)…"
cshimmon replied to cshimmon's discussion Omeprazole suspension problems"Thanks Pat, ther're just a couple of problems. We can't hide things in food as he's still only on milk- and you can't have it with milk, although we weren't told that till we'd already tried it! Also, they've only…"

We have to keep giving the ranitidine until the omeprazole takes effect, and he is now supposed to be…"

Does anybody have any tips for getting omeprazole suspension into my baby? He takes his domperidone and ranitidine without any problems- loves them- but he just can't stand the omeprazole, and as it's in such large quantities, I can't trick him into swallowing it. I tried putting it in his milk, but he can still taste it and refuses the bottle.Any Ideas?See More
