Is it true ???!

Question

My son is a month and has horrible reflux that doesn’t let him sleep more than 30-45 minutes. I’ve heard adding half a teaspoon of rice or cereal helps thicken the formula and keeps it down. Any truth to this??? Any other tips?

Answer

No. There’s been a lot of research saying this for safe and a choking hazard. Also it’s not recommended to do anything like this without your pediatrician approving it. Reflux can be managed w medications or changing formula. I’d look into those routes first

Answer

Talk to your sons pediatrician. Putting anything other than formula or breastmilk in the bottle can be an aspiration risk.

Answer

My son has had terrible acid reflux since birth and was given medicine for it. I found a crib wedge/bassinet wedge works wonders depending if he’s in crib or bassinet. I added a little bit of rice cereal to my sons bottles and I’ve found it helps. Make sure to feed him sitting up and keep him upright for 15-30 mins after a feeding.
Make sure to talk to your doctor though about the rice cereal and possibly a medication for it. I know a lot of people are against medicine and would rather try traditional ways but if the baby needs it the baby needs it.

Answer

It depends on the baby. As a mom of 3,2 of which have/had acid reflux it is still recommend depending on the baby.

Answer

You gotta talk to the pediatrician about it. Helps some, not all.. Usually not recommended at all anymore to put in the bottle.
