My 4 month old son has been on reflux medication since he was 2 weeks old.is it safe to stop it without weaning him off of it?

Maybe,maybe not: You are likely to see a return of sx within days.I find most reflux peaks at about 4 mo and settles down after 6 m. Eliminating the day dose for a week followed by the evening dose ( if a 2x day preparation) is often easier on baby. Either way, most can get off meds by 7-9m at the latest.
