I need help with our feedings/solids w/ bad reflux

DD has bad reflux and is Zantac 3 times a day. While on Zantac she still spits up but it has been manageable since we have been feeding her every 3 hours a 4.5 oz bottle w/ 3 tsp cereal. Twice a day I was also giving her half a jar of fruit of veggie. With this schedule it was pretty much hit or miss...sometimes she would barely spit up and other times she was still spitting up so much her whole outfit needed to be changed.

At her 6 month appt 2 days ago, the doc said to increase the amt of time btwn feeds and increase the amt she's eating and to add a 3rd meal. I was very nervous to do so beacuse of her bad reflux. This is the schedule we are on and she's spitting up alot.

5am 4 oz bottle (no cereal) and a whole stage 2 mixed with 3 tsp oatmeal

9am 5 oz bottle w/ 3 tsp oatmeal

12:30 4 oz bottle (no cereal) and a whole stage 2 mixed with 3 tsp oatmeal

4:30 4 oz bottle (no cereal) and a whole stage 2 mixed with 3 tsp oatmeal

8PM 5 oz bottle w/ 3 tsp cereal

I dont know how to change her schedule to get her to eat 3 meals a day and get her to take the right amount of formula and not spit up!

I called daycare before and they said they had to change her twice!

Ughh so frustrating

Re: I need help with our feedings/solids w/ bad reflux

No advice just

I am also interested in replies because I am in a very similar situation with DD who outright vomits and gets prevacid twice a day with a dose of zantac before bed.

I know how frustrating it is

ETA: I too cannot figure out how to incorporate a third meal without exacerbating the vomiting.
