Thicken feeds: Please see your pediatrician, but the formula may be thickened with powdered rice cereal mixed in to the bottle. The bottle flow should be tested to ensure that there is normal flow of formula into the mouth. Elevate his head to 30 degrees to avoid aspiration. Check with your pediatrician regarding the amount and having an appointment to review feeding.
