I used the karo syrup mixed right in my feeding formula. I use a kangaroo pump to get my formula. The everyone is different saying is true, David likes the Compazine while I like the Zofran for nausea. The Compazine made me a nervous wreck, I paced back and forth. It was awful, I couldnt sit still. Just cuz it happened to me doesnt mean it will affect you like that. I wanted to let you know just in case you are having a reaction to anti-nausea meds instead of the steroids. I know steroids will stay in your system for a while. Hope this info is helpful to you. Best wishes for an easy upcoming week. Dont forget we are right here for you to lean on!
