rice cereal/simply thick in formula

Hi all.  My DD is suffering from a little acid reflux and the doc suggested adding a little rice cereal or simply thick to her formula to help.  I did not get specific instructions from doc's office because they closed before I could call them back so I have to wait until tomorrow to talk to them about it.  Anyone have experience with this?  And, how much rice cereal did you use to help?

    if its just "a little" AR (and not that bad) then I personally wouldn't do that at 4 weeks. Thats really early.

     

    But if you decide to, I'd wait until tomorrow when you can call the doc and find out exactly what they want you to do.

    We started DS2 on rice cereal at 4 weeks due to his AR.  We started with 2 tsp/4 oz in just 2 bottles a day.  We've had to up it, since, as he's progressed into severe AR.

    GL!  Hope the rc helps!

     

    Thank you!

    Our ped suggested 1 tsp per ounce for DD when she was about 4 weeks old. I find that it has helped her somewhat....it's not 100% better but she is more comfortable.
