BFing + reflux

crawtater

If your pedi has recommended adding cereal to baby's bottles for reflux, how are you making that work with BFing? Adding cereal to bottles has helped a LOT, but I really miss nursing baby. And, ok, I HATE pumping. Obviously I will do the best thing for my li'l man, but I guess I'm just wondering how I can make this work long-term, or if I need to start thinking about switching to formula.

Do you EP and add cereal to all baby's bottles, or give EBM during the day with cereal but nurse at night, or switch off pumping/bottles and nursing all throughout each day, or what?

How old is your baby?  Do you work?

5 months old. Yes, I work full time. I pump during the week but hate it, and I don't want to move to pumping 24/7. I like being able to nurse at night and on the weekends.
