Omeprazole with milk??

Can you add the liquid form omeprazole to formula? I keep reading conflicting information but he just will not take it via syringe or medicine dummy he screams and screams it’s horrible to see 😢

No but you can take it with cool boiled water. So have your bottle of water and syringe ready. Drop some in the mouth then straight away give bottle so the suckling motion helps him swallow. Do it in small doses at a time x

I got told by the doctor and health visitor that it has got to be given on an empty stomach (which is hard with a baby who feeds a lot 🥲) and to never mix it with milk or water. I got told 30 mins before a feed also. It also says this on the instructions inside of the box. At first my baby completely refused to take it but as times gone on he’s fine taking it now! We started by pulling his dummy to the side of his mouth and slowly adding the omeprazole to the side of his cheek as he was still sort of sucking on the dummy at the same time and to just do it really slowly and now he just takes it fine without his dummy and it’s been about 4 weeks. It’s awful to see them hating it at first, I think I cried with him the first week 🤣 it does get better! Xx

Thanks both he doesn’t take a dummy but I will try the cooled boiled water! Xx

yeh I got told to give it on empty stomach, the nhs didn't want to pay for liquid one so we are stuck with dissolvable one. we give the dissolvable one in syringe quick blows on fave so it goes down throat 30 mins later give milk

Water is fine with it! DR said so plus a quick google on the NHS website will tell you that also x

Our paediatrician said it’s fine with a small amount of milk like 2oz or less, they’re just not allowed to tell you because if baby doesn’t drink it all you’ll have no idea how much medicine they’ve had xx
