I take Zantac 150 once a day as prescribed by my Dr. I've had terrible acid reflux and it seems to be helpful. It's safe ..my neighbor gives her 4 month old baby zantac for silent reflux as prescribed by her pediatrician.
my 14 weeks baby girl weighing 12 pounds spits up at least 3 to 4 times every feed (4 feeds per day) and she burps many times as well and she gets all cranky and fussy while burping or spitting.. She doesn't cry excessively but she just seems annoyed and we need to keep distracting her..
Hi, my son is 1 month 1/2 old and suffers from reflux. His pediatrician put him on zantac about 2 weeks ago and now again 2 days ago. I'm not seeing much improvements since he is still spitting up and sometimes it just goes back down. I also feel that he has had colic, since he cries out of no where with such a great force. I was mostly breastfeeding and he was drinking formula (similac advance) as well but maybe just about 2 oz. every other feeding.
My Midwife gave me a list of medications that are safe for the baby, but that help heartburn- Maalox, Mylanta, Tums (only 250mg/day), Rolaids, Red Raspberry Capsules (in health food stores), & chewing gum. I hope that helps!!
I take the Walmart brand of Zantac sometimes twice a day. I took it for the last 3 to 4 months Of my first pregnancy and it never went away and so when I got pregnant again I took it and get bad and the Dr said 2 a day was safe and so here I am baby 3 and taking it and all my babies are fine :-D take a Zantac don't struggle.
Does anyone know if you can take Zantac 75 during your first trimester for heartburn? I took it with my first pregnancy, but it was a lot later in the pregnancy. I am dying here, and need a fix.
Oh poor baby! My daughter had reflux really bad too the zantac should help. It's an acid reducer so while the baby will still have reflux it won't be so acidic and shouldn't cause as much pain or discomfort. You can also try putting a blanket under the head of the mattress to keep her head slightly inclined. Even an inch or two can help. The good thing is that they grow out of reflux as they get older. Good luck.
I get heartburn every night ughhh. I take zantac but it only helps,when im sitting up. As soon as i lay down it burnsss! Im 33 weeks and i dont think there is any helping it can my due date just be here already?
Mine was too! I was eating at least 8 tums a day until my doctor suggested at my 28 week check up that I take Prilosec until the end of my pregnancy. I was worried at first because I didn't want to take anything that would harm my baby, but she reassured me that Prilosec & Zantac are safe during pregnancy. Zantac will help fight symptoms after the fact for up to 12 hours & Prilosec will stop symptoms before they start all day.
I've been on zantac 150mg twice a day since around 11 weeks, and over the last 36 hours it's not working as well...what else can I do? I'm not going to take any other medication on top of the zantac. I'm trying drinking milk, and it's not really helping much...
I want something with immediate relief and wondered if the anyone took the other ones like Zantac or whatever else is out there. Tums does NOT work for me. Any input as to what your doctor said was ok, please let me know. Also, I'm 29 weeks, in case that matters to anyone's advice. Thanks in advance for your input.
Yes I have it super bad my doctor told me I can take Zantac 75 omg go to the store get it I wish I would have asked earlier it's been my savor I take it around 3 pm so it lasts all nite so over the tums I only have to at times take like one a day if that trust me go get Zantac ASAP good luck :)
