Question for those more experienced mummies:
I had thought (and doctor suggested the same thing) to try to wean Ryan off his Omeprazole at 6 months. HOwever...he is still spewing quite regularly and the spew is that nice chuncky spew that indicates acid is still coming up. Do I dare try to wean him? Does it maybe not mean anything that it's chunky?
The reason I ask is cause he'll be starting daycare at 6 months and I don't know if I can possibly handle trying to wean him and going back to no sleep at night if his reflux comes back.
I suppose I could wean and then go straight back on the same dosage but just wondering if I should even bother since he obviously still has the reflux...
I would leave him on it until he's more settled with the chucking, or at least until he's crawling as that's often a time when it settles a bit more. I wouldn't do both at once Megan, it's too much for you to have to deal with
My sons reflux had pretty much gone by around 8 months so it was around then that we took him off Losec. Yeah i'd wait a bit longer, it sounds like he still needs it.
Yep, don't bother weaning. As he starts solids, he may have a few more problems with his reflux so it can pay to keep them on it over that time. Dan weaned about 10 months I think
