Prevacid for my infant

ashmomo · Oct 19, 2009

Hi, I just started my 5 mo old on Prevacid and it is a pill. We have to break it in half and put it with liquid to give to her. Today I tried with her milk...not the best. Anyone else have to give this to their infant? How do you do it? What can I mix it with? Can I just put it with applesauce like her enzymes? That would be easy... Just not sure what it can go in. Any advice would be helpful!
Thanks!

Oh, well I just read it is supposed to dissolve completely...so I could just mix it w/ a tiny bit of water and them pour it in a nipple for her to drink. Nevermind...I guess I answered my own question.
If anyone else has other ideas I am still open to hearing them!

We were told not to mix meds with milk because DS might associate the taste with his formula and refuse to eat. When we started him on adeks we did the nipple trick -- put some in a nipple, at first mixed with a little orange juice, but he sucked it right down.

With his vitamin k tablet he took once a week. I got a pill crusher -- just used it to grind up the tablet and sprinkled it on babyfood bananas and he took it right down.
