suomi - no it wasnt a bug. I did think it was initially but it ended up being an exacerbation of his reflux. they put it down to the fact that a month ago when we were in hospital for iv antibiotics (severe infected excema and abcesses) they made us start solids because he was 6 months. He is highly allergic to many things nad his feeding went to the crap and reflux worked overtime. they changed him from ranitidine to Losec (a hefty dose too). I managed to get 5mg/1ml so i have to give him just 2mls otherwise we were wearing the 2mg/1ml!!! that stuff is so foul.
Why Omeprazole suspension? It makes babies vomit and isn't as effective. I've written a letter for doctors. It is available here as well as instruction sheets on how to give medications:http://www.cryingoverspiltmilk.co.nz/MedicalTreatment/MedicalTreatment.htm
It makes sense that they would have started on that when he was having NG feeds as it was designed for this but you could switch to granules now.
