My son has a reflux problem so I've been trying to find ways to help his chronic spit-up. Babies normally spit-up but, if your baby is doing it constantly along with having distress/pain you should tell your doctor. I asked his doctor how to treat his problem and she said that elevating their mattress and adding rice cereal to the bottle may help. Well I went home after purchasing the cereal and I came to a problem. How much do I add? Well I did some digging for a while online and I finally got an answer. It said for reflux add 2 tbsp for 4 oz of milk (breast or formula). We also bought some new 5oz Tommee Tippee bottles and both the #2 and #3 nipple replacements. I didn't know which one would work best so we got both. I found the #3 worked the best. I only use the cereal at night. Sofar, it's been working. He spits up a lot less and is less fussy.
