My daughters pediatrician said to add rice cereal to my newborns formula for her reflux issue. Has anyone else done this? Did it work? She said I could also use a rice starch formula like similac for spit up. Which do my mommy friends on here use?
@guaderrama_babies2, @haydensmommy5 @jeniel @josmedellin, being a new mommy is stressful lol. But it's the best gift ever!
@guaderrama_babies2, @haydensmommy5 @jeniel @josmedellin, yeah I bought the similac for spit up. I hope she does well with it! I started with the rice cereal but I didn't feel comfortable. I read where young babies can choke on it and it can cause unnecessary weight gain.
I didn't want to add rice cereal to my daughters. She had really bad acid reflux so her pedi just switched her formula to the light green similac can for spit up. it's thicker than regular formula and that one is made with a little extra rice starch.
you can also get enfamil AR. i wasnt comfortable adding the rice cereal. and if you have wic it covered.
I used roads one tablespoon to my sons bottles. He had reflux so bad he was throwing up 50% of his bottle
You got this momma!!
