My dd is currently on similac sensitive and this has been the best so far for her except in one area. She struggles and fusses so hard when she's trying to pass gas sometimes and when she needs to have a bm. She didn't go at all yesterday and tried this morning fussing through two bottles and still couldn't go. I don't know what to I can do! It kills me to hear her crying like that! She's 8 wks old & on ranitidine for reflux so can't do gas drops dr said.

I've heard rubbing the tummy can help, or holding her over your arm - things that help colic. Not sure how true that is. Did your doctor say why you can't use gas drops? Eva is on the same medicine (the generic for Zantac, right?) and we use Mylicon, her doctor never said anything about it. I looked it up online too before we did and everything I found just said not to give them around the same time or the Zantac may not work as well, we haven't had any issues with it ...

Right..same stuff. She just said it wouldn't be as effective so I feel like we had to choose the lesser of the two evils. Lol So it doesn't reduce the effectiveness of the ranitidine if we don't do it at the same time? If that's true then I will give her the mylicon during the other bottles.

I don't know for a fact it doesn't but that seemed to be the general consensus from what I read online ... I'll see if I can find the links. In my experience it doesn't seem to affect the Zantac as long as it has been a couple of hours since she's had her Zantac ... I don't know about Juliette, but with Eva it's really obvious when her Zantac isn't working, so you could probably try it and recognize if it's causing an interaction, especially since Mylicon clears out pretty quickly and is not really absorbed. I've been giving her both (Zantac 3x a day and Mylicon as needed) since she was 2 weeks old and it's definitely helped.
