A member asked:
Would you put a 12 week old baby on solid food, if they have a hard time keeping down formula.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: There are formulas out there that have added rice solids to thicken the formula for kids who reflux a lot. Occasionally i will have parents use a teaspoonful of rice cereal/bottle or just add the dry formula powder to do the same. There is no benefit to expanding the additive list at that age & may be some added digestive problems if you do.
