LO is 7 months and has been on Prilosec since she was 3 months. After her 6 month well visit the doctor said we could try weaning her off of it, but it didn't go well. All of her reflux symptoms came back and she was pretty miserable. We put her back on at the original dose and it worked for a while, but now she's having reflux symptoms again. The pediatrician said as she gains weight the dosage may become ineffective and that we should increase it. We are going to do it because obviously we don't want her to be miserable, but I'm starting to get concerned about long term side effects and such. It seems like so many babies are weaned by 6 months.

Anyone have experience going longer?
