Re: those that put rice cereal in bottle....

yes--the formula weighs down with the cereal and they spit up alot less.
I tried it 1 or 2x then stopped until they were 4 months.
I still put in formula and use a y nipple sometimes.
I eyed it.
I think my doc said 1 tbsp per 4 ounces.
so like I said Ii eyed it.
I dk how much your dc drinks.
I'm sure if the doc said that much its fine...eye and it and see if its too think--

We did this when they suffered from reflux. The ratio was 1tsp/oz.

My doctor said 1 teaspoon for every 4 ounces of formula. It worked WONDERS for my DS.
