Acid Reflux baby throws up after medication?

My 3 month old just started Zantac for acid reflux. We give her the medication and wait 10 minutes before feeding her. This morning, I gave her the medication, waited 10 minutes, then breastfed her. As I was burping her she threw up maybe 2 ounces of the food (maybe a little more than half of what I gave her). My husband thinks we should give her her medication again, even though we had given it to her more than a half hour prior. Should I give her more?

No; call your doctor for this advice.
Do not give her more.
You are actually supossed to wait 1/2 hour before feeding baby after giving the medication. That way it has time to absorb into their stomach before the milk comes in.
I would not give it to her again as you really don’t know how much was absorbed into her stomach lining and how much she threw up, you don’t want to overdose her.
Start giving it to her 1/2 hour before she nurses!
