In order to make 1/2 packet from a full
packet of TummyCare Max you can open
the packet and pour the TCMax powder
into the mini angled cup from OXO. The
goal is to put enough powder to be at the
30 ml amount. You can slide the cup back
and forth on the counter and tap it to get
the powder level. This does not have to

• 3 milliliters (mL) is the minimum

volume per dose of TummyCare Max
that should be given. (This is to ensure
enough buffer to neutralize stomach acid)

The dosing recommendation as shown in the PPI dosing information chart indicates a 12mg per dose,
three times a day for your infant.
If you are making a 3mg per mL concentration (typical for omeprazole) then this would be 4mL (12mg)
per dose.
•Day 1: Dose 1mL per dose, three times a day.
•Day 2: Dose 2mL per dose, three times a day.
•Day 3: Dose 3mL per dose, three times a day.
•Day 4: Dose 4mL per dose, three times a day.
By day four your baby will be at the desired dosage and the issue of gas due to CO2 will be minimized.
