My 11 weeks old baby boy has just been diagnosed with acid reflux. Our doctor prescribed him with Ranitidine (RT), he not only spits out the medicine every time I gave him but also vomits out the milk. I’m thinking to mix the medication with milk ( I breastfeed), I’m wondering if the medication would work the same. I’m also looking for good advice on how to care for a baby with acid reflux. It hurts me to see him throwing up but nothing comes out, I’m afraid to even feed him knowing he’ll vomit later on. Thank you for your input.

I’m a new mom and have never been around babies. I saw someone in my other post mentioned this, I’d like to know more and learn more. Any good advice on caring for a baby with acid reflux?

My baby is almost 5 months old and has been diagnosed with Acid Reflux. He’s exclusively breast fed, and after trying lots of different things we had to start him on Zantac because he is refusing to eat very much (he will only take about 2-2.5 oz is my guess each feeding). We have tried expressed milk in a bottle, and formula…all with the same result – refusal. The doctor started him on Zantac last week and it’s only been 5 days he’s been taking the medication but he is still refusing to eat and we have to top him up with expressed milk after every feeding using a syringe.

I am not looking to be judged on giving my baby medicine, you would too your child was not eating enough and gaining weight well. I am looking to find other people that had similiar experiences and how long it took until their baby began to breastfeed (or drink formula normally again).

deos this medicine actually work??? my baby has really bad acid reflux (GERD) and medication is needed. He has tried zantac but it did not work so well.

well before my child was 6 months old, i though he had colic(all the dpctors told me) and now i have found out that he actually has acid reflux. i have been feeding him zantac for a week now adn no results. he still arches his back in pain while i feed him. i want to know is that if there are other medicines, besides zantac, that can help my baby.
how much is the a.r enfamil formula

His stools are yellow and have a mixture of brown which is sometimes shiny. Does anyone else have their child on enfamil with rice and have the same colored stools? I just want to know what to look for in case its a milk allergy, or if this is the way he digests the rice.

I am breastfeeding but I like to have a glass or 2 of wine some nights especially after dealing with a reflux 4 month old and a 2 year old all day but I’ve heard that alcohol can trigger the acid problem, if i am going to have a glass what would be the least irritable for my little bub? I had a few drinks when breastfeeding my older child and it never effected him.

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?

My baby is 17 weeks old,what works for acid reflux?
We use enfamil A.R..Dr Brown’s bottles and started Zantac this week twice a day. He still spits up (throws up) from end of one bottle to the beginning of the next. ALOT. He is growing,but I don’t want him hurting. He has cried much more than my other 2 children ever did and I can see the scared look in his face when he chokes sometimes. I really need help.
