What kind of Medicines do they give babies for Acid Reflux?
I was just told that my 11 day old baby has Acid Reflux. What kind of medicines do they usually give babies for that and how do you give it to them? The Doctors said he has Acid Reflux. I am wondering what medicines are given. Currently he pukes up every thing. We’ve tried all brand of formulas including soy and lactose free. Also tried breast milk. He pukes it all up. A: My son was on Zantac for acid reflux. I was instructed to give it to him full-strength from a syringe. That didn’t work so well, so I did it just the way Beckers said. Depending on how much pain it’s causing him, the doctor may not prescribe anything. There are also other things you can do to help alleviate the reflux: -keep him upright for at least 30 minutes after eating -feed him half as much, twice as often -burp after every ounce or two he drinks (that’s the advice, but personally, it made matters worse for my son) -incline the head of his sleeping surface 30 degrees -over the counter gas relief drops, like Mylic
