How much rice in a bottle?

Question

For those of you who add baby rice to bottles, how much do you put in?

*note* I'm not asking for opinions about whether or not to do it or the merits of baby rice. The 'empty calories' argument holds zero weight for me since baby rice here is fortified and contains lots of vitamins and iron, also unless your baby is overweight I don't think calories are a concern.

Answer

My baby drinks 6oz of formula and I put 1 tbsp maybe a lil more but I don't use rice cereal cuz I hear makes baby constipated ill use oatmeal cereal .

Answer

My baby has reflux, and my dr told me to first put 1 tablespoon for every 2 ounces. It helped for at last a month, but he's starting to spit up again, so now he's saying 1 tablespoon for every 1 ounce. But if this doesn't help, we are taking him in for reflux meds.

Answer

My doc recommended not putting cereal in her bottles. She explained that it could make bf harder (if u bf of course) because it changes the consistency of the milk. she also noted that eating was a learned, its not just something that we just "know" so feeding her the cereal or foods by rubber tipped spoon was the best way to help her learn. That's just what was recommended to me!

Answer

I used oatmeal cereal. Never rice, no reason tho. But I would tap the bottle twice in my LO's 6oz bottles.
