I need help!! my son has acid reflex and his doctor told me to put rice cereal in his bottle to make it thicker and he put him on zantac. What bottles did you use cuz I use doctor brown now and I went up to a size 3 nipple and it doesn't come out.

Yep! The Gerber kind sucks in bottles. It's like little pieces of sand and it gets stuck in the nipple hole. The store brand is flakey and dissolves better

My son doesn't like the taste of it so I give it to him right before his first bottle in the morning and right before his last bottle at night 😊 I hope this helps

I had to do the same. Are you using Gerber rice cereal by chance? That brand just does not mix well enough to get threw the bottle nipple. I used store brands and had MUCH better luck. I had to do the rice because of reflux & because he spit up insane amounts of spit up

the cereal does hold it down more but definitely just buy the cheap bottles from Walmart and cut it a Lil bit just go a Lil at a time until u get a small flow out of them. I've had to do just that with all my kids it's not ideal but it does help them a lot. u may also notice he won't eat as much cause he's getting full quicker

really? what's the name of it? @mommyoftwo0321 I hate giving him ceral this young but his doctor said it will help him eat better

I had the same issue with my son. And we were using dr Browns too and I tried nuk, Tommie Tippee, avent, and nothing worked except cutting the cheap Walmart ones. Good luck momma! @lashbrooke32

if it's too thick to come out then you put to much cereal in it. when you cut the nipple you increase their chances of choking
Brooke.·
no I'm putting less then I should. @shalene

I ended up having to use just cheap Walmart bottles and cutting the nipple a little.
