Thank you for such information. I've been searching for such data to tell all mothers not to give reflux medications because if it is not serious and diagnosed as something else it is not a disease!
My baby takes this at 4 months, she was refusing feeds and vomiting everything up before using it
May I ask for more info on how your situation went. My little guy is just about two weeks old and I’m nervous.
@@rraymond4912 the reflux got much better around 5/6 months, which is what the doctor predicted (once the muscles in chest/neck get stronger they can keep liquids down) the medicine was a lifesaver she was able to feed without crying and stopped being sick. She's now fully weaned off it at 6.5 months. Good luck!
What was the dose? According to the weight? Plz guide fully
@@rraymond4912same here can you explain the symptoms in detail
@@Nat-lk1gncan you guide me about the dosage
My 5 week old has been prescribed 3mls once a day. She was screaming & writhing in pain after feeds. Tgis was the last resort .. should i go back to our dr?
My baby was doing this too. I switched her to a Comfort milk and it helped her so much.
