try oatmeal? barley?
try w/o thickening?
what’s the formula? could it be time to switch?
I think the RTF (ready to feed) kind are thicker by nature- like Alimentum RTF…
it’s all trial & error, unfortunately

ps: can you put info in your signature?
go to the upper right hand corner of the screen and click on ‘settings’ & from there look for ‘profile’ and from there you’ll see ‘Signature’ – put baby’s name, age, meds & doses (mgs), formula and thickening…thanks!
it’s so hard to keep track of all these GERDlings
Not everyone thickens. Have you tried not thickening? Does he gag or choke on thinner formula? If he needs the thickening I’d try oatmeal. Lots of babies get gas or constipation from rice, but at six weeks any grain may be a problem for him. Like Laura said, it’s trial and error.
Not fun, I know. P.S. Christine, I love your son’s name! As you can see I have a Miles also.
How cute! We get a lot of compliments on his name. I just hope it doesn’t become overly popular because it is so darn cute!
Grady is a great name, too.
With the stridors I can definitely understand needing to thicken. I hope he does better on oatmeal. My three all did fine on it but they weren’t quite so small when I started.
Visit your local health food store, there are lots of options out there once you start looking…oatmeal, barley, and lots of other grains, too.
I hope it improves!
This site will give you info on dosing for ppi drugs to see if his dose is high enough…
