Starting cereal – does it always help reflux??

[Anonymous]

Hello. I have started rice cereal once a day for a week or so. My 5 1/2 month old son loves it and I thought he was tolerating it well. I have noted some dry patches on his legs – don’t know if that is realted or not. His reflux really kicked up with a cold he had and he all but quit sleeping, discontent, etc. My guess is that it was his cold and reflux not cereal since he was fine with it last week. Anyone had experiece with the cereal aggrevating things versus helping? Does cereal always start helping the reflux?

cereal can be a bit controversial..but your son is 5 & 1/2 months old- almost the 6 months that many would recommend you wait for starting solids

check the box- gerber has milk proteins- try beechnut or an organic brand w/ no milk or soy
