My daughters dr won’t give her meds for reflux. Told us to start putting a little rice cereal in her breast milk. I’ve heard it’s a horrible choking hazard & causes horrible horrible constipation! Have any of you mommy’s used it?

I’d get a second opinion.

@coffee.leggings.target, yes that’s why I’m so confused

@saleena, were all the doctors at the same practice?

@saleena, I seriously suggest switching doctors until you can find one with another plan. Cereal and Zantac both come with their issues but there are still other options. If he’s drinking breast milk, have you tried to cut out dairy yet? That helps some babies. Also broccoli and other gassy foods can cause reflux. Or if she’s drinking formula at all, switching to a more sensitive type is an option. Or have you tried switching bottles to one with a vent? Tommee tippees helped my LO. She was fed both breast milk and formula and did significantly better once I switched to those bottles.. So sorry you’re going through these issues. I’m sure it’s very difficult to deal with.

I used it my son was fine didnt choke on it so babies u need alpt some u dont. My sons was pretty thick n never choked. Rice is bad for their bellies no nutrition and messes it up on the inside. Do cereal

@saleena. Your welcome

My doctor had me use rice cereal for both my kids because of reflux. We never had a choking issue and it honestly made a huge difference. They were both less fussy. My daughter did get constipated but my son didn't.

Go see a GI. That's extremely outdated advice. It's a choking hazard and can create a whole different world of issues. It should only be used when all other methods of treatment have been exhausted. My 4 yr old has extremely severe reflux and is treated by some of the top doctors in the nation. Cereal in a bottle was never on the table.

My pedi said the same thing for my sons acid reflux, but hes old school. I didnt do it though, I would keep him upright for a half hour and he was propped up a little when he slept.

My pediatrician only suggested rice cereal as a last resource, but we never used it, my son was on Zantac three times a day, I don’t understand why they don’t want to prescribe your daughter medicine. What is their reason? I agree with one of the previous posters try to see a specialist then.

They said that studies show that Zantac leads to bigger problems and issues later on in life. But I’ve babysat lots of babies and nephews hat have been on it and they’re all fine!

@saleena, really? That’s crazy my son has absolutely no issues and he no longer even has reflux as of being 1 year old.

There's other options than zantac too
