I was nervous to stop too, but also glad to try to stop at the same time since I wanted my dd off the medicine.
My ped. had told me when my baby starting eating solid foods to try taking her off the zantac. If she seems fine, great, otherwise put her back on it. I did for one day and realized she needed it again. Then about two months later (around 7-8 months old), I tried again and she was fine. I've never gone back to it since.
Also, I do not recommend just giving your baby one dose for a few weeks to see how he does. Zantac just doesn't work that way. I was told in detail by my pediatrician that Zantac works for a specific length of time and not for the entire day, hence why we give multiple doses throughout the day. If you only give it to you baby once a day, then you'll know immediately if he needs more by the time the next dose (or two) is needed. There's no need to try it over a course of weeks. Essentially, what I'm saying here is you can go 'cold turkey' on this medicine. Stop giving it and if your child seems in pain and isn't good, then just go back on it. No need to only give one dose and then wait and then give another the next day and continue like this for weeks. According to my doctor, it's pretty black or white. You'll know immediately if your baby needs it or not.
