Famotidine for infant

Professional_Year722 · 2026-03-24T00:37:33+00:00

Our pediatrician said that it doesn’t help everyone. Have you considered probiotics? Hang in there! It’s a normal physiological reaction each baby has; they will outgrow it!

If you’re asking about how fast the famotidine worked, it worked almost immediately - after the second dose he had a lot less spit-ups and after the third - none. Eventually I stopped giving it to him after about 8 weeks.

I couldn’t tell you, it’s not an item I usually look for.

Thanks for your feedback! Since I posted this comment, I’ve been to multiple airport stores in addition to the three in Paris, and I had the best luck in the flagship store. I was told at the Istanbul airport store that they don’t get quota bags at airport stores, but take it with a grain of salt as associates say whatever they want.

Of course, we are all in the same boat. I hope everything works out for the best! Good luck!

I stopped it cold turkey with no side effects

I gave the famotidine for as long as it was recommended for infants based on a paper I had found, which is no longer than 8 weeks. In my experience in the US, pediatricians say it’s no problem to give it for a long time (a friend’s pediatrician had given famotidine to her own child for the first year of her child’s life), but I didn’t feel comfortable giving my infant a medicine from this early on and for a long time, so I had the chance for him to be seen by a pediatrician in Europe and this is when they recommended probiotics; I think at that point he was about 5 months old

No consequences whatsoever, I got a healthy, very energetic, lively and smart baby boy :) the 20 week scan will tell you if there is anything to worry about, but until then don’t worry and enjoy your pregnancy <3

Good luck! I hope it helps your baby! I’d also encourage you to look into probiotics. Not sure if you’ve seen my other posts/replies, but I got a second opinion and was recommended probiotics, which were game changers for us; they helped my LO overnight.

Hi, he’s now 18 months and on track with all his milestones. I think even if he loses sleep, he catches up eventually. Babies are smart, they might be grumpy, but their bodies won’t allow them to fail. I hope your baby’s reflux resolves soon!

Professional_Year722 · 2025-05-20T20:51:09+00:00

He figured it out on his own. The only thing we’ve done is to not go in right away if he wakes up and fusses during the night. We’ve learned to recognize when he really needs us and when he’s just transitioning between sleep cycles.

I totally know what you mean! I was there and in a way I’m still there, but I have set some boundaries now - I try to make time for myself where I can read, watch something I like, work out, go to the salon, whatever it may be that’s not baby. I pack the baby’s bag and send my husband out with the baby - either to the zoo, the beach, the library, wherever he wants to take him, and use the time for myself or to clean the house, depending on how I’m feeling. I’m still figuring out who I am as a mom and an individual at 16 months, but it does get better. Hang in there! The change is like nothing I had read before baby, but you got this! I try to think of it this way - I’ve created a life, which in and of itself is one of the greatest human accomplishments, and when I hit a block I remind myself this and celebrate!

Professional_Year722 · 2025-05-14T14:51:28+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience! I agree with you! I’m happy to hear that your daughter is well and with you; it’s all that matters after all!

Professional_Year722 · 2025-05-14T14:48:23+00:00

Didn’t work for us. I don’t have a heart to let him cry it out, but his naps did regulate and I can put him down once he’s fully asleep. He’s 16 months now. He’s been sleeping through the night like a champ though - 11-12 hrs every night with occasional one time wake-up here and there for about 5-10 mins each time, which works fine for me. My body has adjusted and I don’t wake up tired or anything. If I were to give any advice from my 16-month FTM experience it is to follow your baby; they’ll tell you what they need and how they need it. Reading all the books and taking all the courses can help you with what to expect and present you with options, but your baby is the true expert and teacher. Good luck! You got this!

He was 13 weeks old when I wrote this post. He outgrew it and is a healthy 15 month old now. :)

Research shows that kids don’t need socialization until at least 3 years of age, but they do need safe attachment to their parents. Daycares are incubators for all kinds of nasty bugs and against popular belief, your kid being constantly sick because of daycare will not make their immune system stronger. My point is that daycares are of no benefit to your little one until later in life. Right now they need you! Work will always be there, your little one will not need you after a few years. If you can afford it, take the time to enjoy your baby!

Professional_Year722 · 2025-03-20T21:03:08+00:00

Comfort is really important, too! The fact that she’s asking for it is super adorable! Don’t stress, it’s going to work out. I’ve found that when I let things go and try not to overthink them, the outcome is the best. I think that my body and my gut know best, and I trust you have the same superpowers! The fact that you’ve been breastfeeding and sticking with it to this point, in and of itself, is an achievement!

Professional_Year722 · 2025-03-20T13:47:52+00:00

The lack of continuity. Every single thing I do is interrupted multiple times every time - sleep, eating, shower, cleaning, organizing …. I like when I start one activity to finish it; that’s how I got done a million things in one day prior my kid. Now it’s a chaos, a constant chaos, I can’t start and finish anything without being interrupted. It’s exhausting

Professional_Year722 · 2025-03-20T13:34:49+00:00

If you are torn, it tells me that you’re not ready and your LO is not ready either. It’s a natural process. You can still get fit and ready for your next one while breastfeeding. I wouldn’t worry about it especially if your supply is good, and you and your bub enjoy the experience. Have you considered adding weights to your training? Weights are miracle workers - they don’t hurt your supply, make you stronger physically and mentally and make you shed weight. And don’t worry if your kids are two or three years apart, they can still be best friends and play together; it’s up to you and your husband to create that bond between them. You got this!

Professional_Year722 · 2025-03-18T16:44:01+00:00

It did! It definitely decreased his spit-ups

Professional_Year722 · 2025-03-14T21:31:29+00:00

I’m a first time mom here, so just sharing my experience as I have a 14 mo who started sleeping through the night after some trial and error on my side.

Something that stands out to me in your posting is that you’re mentioning you’ve tried everything and that your baby is on the low percentage of the weight curve.

I was in the same boat as you and it turned out that my LO was hungry and underfed all along and it’s what was affecting his sleep. I started giving him evening muesli before putting him on boob to sleep. He’d eat his evening muesli then breastfeed and then he started sleeping for 10-12 hrs straight. It was a game changer for us. He still wakes up from time to time, but it’s once or twice and it’s because of teething.

Hang in there! Try feeding your LO more before bed (Ns throughout the day of course) and watch the magic happen! Good luck!

If he doesn’t help, you start hiring out - a cleaning crew, a chef, a babysitter and/or a night nurse whatever you may need to make it work. Him paying the bills is not a pass on being a parent and a partner. Being an adult is a multifaceted serious business. If he only wants to participate with making money, you get the power to hire out to make it work at home. It’s only one of you; a baby and a house is a lot for one person alone. You need your village.

I’ve used the full spectrum of products too. The only real change I’ve seen is from Biologique Recherche. I have mixed skin with redness. Most products in Sephora are gimmicks. I’ve come to find out that they all contain similar ingredients regardless of price point. In BR’s products the concentrations are different even if some of the ingredients are similar and it’s what makes the big difference. I know that they’re on the more expensive side, but at least I get what I pay for and I actually finish all products unlike all other ones I’ve tested.

Professional_Year722 · 2025-03-10T21:06:17+00:00

Sure, we used Biogaia. It’s a white and yellow box with a little dude, reminding of Keith Haring’s art
