You can put a very small dosage of mylanta in every other bottle to help with reflux. It's a 1/4 tsp. I came home with it in my bottles to help with reflux, and we used it on our first son until we switched to the prevacid pill. Also keep him straight up for 30 minutes after he eats.
If you can't get a refill, tall to your sons drs. Most drs have some sort of samples of meds that they can give out to try. Or they might even send a different script for him. If you ever need someone to vent too or advice feel free to message me. My son has severe reflux, and I'm still dealing with it. I've kinda become a pro and expert on it. ( he's had it since birth and will be 2 in Dec.)
My son has the milk protein allergy so he is on Similac Alimentum. We give him gas drops and he sleeps in a cradle swing so hes not laying flat on his back. I just dont know what im going to do if medicaid wont pay for his ranitidine. He's already had a pretty rough start in life, he had to have surgery on August 9th because he had pyloric stentosis (sp?), he had the milk protein allergy, he has night time colic and now i cant get his ranitidine until oct which helps him wonders. Its like he cant get a break and i feel awful about it.
My first son was in the nicu for 21 days and I was pumping my milk and taking it to the hospital for them to feed it to him, well when they told me they were full I didn't bring any the next day when we went to see him they were giving him similac, I thought they had my milk since they said they were full of mine (in my sons bin in the freezer), big confusion but anyways, he had bad spit up, vomiting, reflux, all from the similac, so we switched to Enfamil AR, it was ok but he would still spit up, but nothing as bad as before, now my newborn is on similac but I don't think he's having any issues with it so far, he's only 2 weeks tho, I don't know why the doctor didn't prescribe my first son anything for it tho but she said if he's a happy spitter then leave it alone, but I would ask the doctor about switching to Enfamil AR, my sister in law also had the same problem and solution with her baby :)
My daughter had acid reflex, my doc said don't lay her flat to sleep, always put him on slight incline, also I used ENFAMIL AR formula which thickens faster in their stomach so it doesn't come right back up, doc also suggested gas drops to reduce the size of gas bubble inside stomach. Hope it helps, good luck with medicaid
