Rice cereal in formula.
-Baby girl 16 weeks old.
-Cluster feeding 3 oz every hr.
-Silent reflux (on zantac, doesn't do shit)
-Wakes up every 2 hrs during the night TO FEED. She eats the whole 3 oz bottle every time, but if u add even half an ounce more she does NOT finish it.
-very fussy during the day and only takes 20 minutes naps throughout the day. Like clockwork, 20 minutes and she's wailing.
-does not, cannot sleep on her back flat, unless elevated, due to reflux. Gets woken up every 2 minutes if laid flat on her back, with milk on both her sides of the month.
My question is- is it SAFE to give my 16 weeks (4 months )old daughter rice cereal with her formula AT NIGHT? I can make it through the day , even with the spit up and short n naps, but I'm very sleep deprived and she is miserable waking up every 2 hrs just to jug down 3 oz and have lots of refulx.
Other details- she IS elevated. We HAVE tried all other options, from gas drops, probiotics, gripe water and other "miracle " products that have done nothing but make her more miserable and severely constipated. We have also tried 6 different formulas as per her pediatrician, with no good outcome.
