Reflux and cereals

Hi reflux moms! My little guy has been spitting up big time (like 2oz or more post 90% of his feeds). Ped has suggested adding rice cereal to LO's bottle and/or spoon feeding in between breastfeeding sessions on top of his Zantac doses. I was not really prepared for this suggestion, have any of you tried this with success?

I was planning to EBF until 6 months, but if it will help keep food in his belly-- I'm willing to try it.

Re: Reflux and cereals

  • My DD is on Enfamil AR, which has rice cereal added already. I also started her on cereal last friday to try and help it more. She is not eating a whole lot of cereal though, just learning how to eat it still.
  • My LO has 1 tsp of cereal per 3 oz. it does seem to help, at first I was hesitant, but it does work for us.

    @fairytalewed‌ -- Are you adding this to BM or formula? If BM were you able to use the regular slow flow nipple?
