He is now taking:
5 ml once a day 
5 ml once a day 2 times a day
With a smidge of this as needed
The nurse at the pediatrician's office said "you're giving him HOW MUCH?!?" I know!!! This is just so unexpected, because we were told that most kids just outgrow their dose and the GERD at the same time- so when they sit up and are on solids there is usually no need for medication.
It's okay though- I am just glad that there is something to help my little guy. His painful cry is so heartbreaking! To think that in the past little babies were diagnosed as collicy when in fact they were in so much pain is so sad! Tonight is the first night with the Zantac, so hopefully it helps him!

Yeah hopefully it helps! I hate the cry when you know they are in pain, it's the worst ever! You guys look like your doing great! Are you working? I can't remember.
Poor littlie guy. Sariah has a spit up problem (throw up, really), up until recently it hasn't bothered her. It still doesn't hurt her so badly that it makes her cry, she just makes a grimace of pain for a brief moment. My guess is a mild case of acid reflux. Hopefully when she starts on solids it'll lessen.
