What should I do about my daughter’s Acid Reflux?
aimee008200 asked:
My daughter has been getting 5tsps of rice cereal in her bottle since she was 3 months old as a treatment for her acid reflux. She is 4 months old now and lately she has been constipated. The pediatrician said that I could start putting oatmeal cereal in her bottle every other feeding so she is not getting as much rice but she will not take the bottles with the oatmeal, I think because it is too thick and it does not come through the nipple easily. I need to cut back on the rice she is getting because she is really getting constipated. I am thinking of only putting 3tsps of rice cereal in her bottle and giving her 1tbsp of oatmeal mixed with formula with a spoon but I am worried that putting less rice cereal in her bottle will make her reflux worse again. I really welcome any advice or opinions.
