moms who add rice to bottles?
when you start feeding/trying other foods, did you give oatmeal and/or barley in addition to keeping the rice in the bottles. i dont see the point in feeding DD rice with a spoon yet. i'm worried it will be too much cereal for her. She gets 3 1/2 tablespoons of rice in 7oz bottles 4x a day now due to her reflux.

Re: moms who add rice to bottles?
DS never had a problem with the oatmeal in his bottle, but he wouldn't eat it plain, so we never even bothered and went right to veggies. So much rice can make them constipated though, so we use oatmeal instead and have had no problems. If you are using rice and want to try giving him cereal, maybe you muight wanna try a different kind, like the oatmeal or barley.

While it does seem like a lot, I was also told to use about 1 tablespoon cereal per 2 oz of formula.

Re: moms who add rice to bottles?
i use level 2 Dr. Brown's nipples. DD is 5 months so i'd like to start her on something new. She gets rice in her bottles now and has at least 2-3 dirty diapers per day. Maybe i'll just wait until she sees the ped next week before starting another cereal.
eta: our GI doc also said no until 5 months and to watch the fruits because of the acids in it due to her reflux.
