Baby rice equivalent in oz?

[LindsayS79]

Hi
This might be a really stupid question so apologies in advance..!
My GP has advised me to try some baby rice with my 5 month old due to her having reflux. So I'm going to give it a go today but how do I know how much rice equates to an oz in formula?
I'm assuming that I reduce the oz in her bottle when I give her rice?
Sorry again but I'm clueless!!

Normally when first weaning I make up the bottle of formula as normal so if she had 6ozs Make up 6ozs then use done if that feed to make the baby rice if that makes sense?

^some of that

Sorry fat fingers :)

Do u have selmolina?

I'd skip baby rice tbh and start very slowly weaning. Mashed potato?

Don't reduce milk though it's far to early to be reducing feeds.

Oh I read it as an equivalent to baby rice

Not measurements. Ignore me.

With my refluxy ds i made 8oz bottle and used one oz to mix with baby rice. I just added the baby rice to the milkuntil it was the right consistency. That way he was getting more milk but a bit of it was more solid hth

No, you don't want to reduce the formula just yet, when you start solids you keep the amount of formula or breastmilk the same and they will naturally start to drop feeds or take less later on, usually at about the 9 month mark. :)

Fab, I didn't even think of using some milk from her bottle! That makes sense!
I think she's teething a bit as she's losing her appetite a bit so it might be good to add rice just now.
Was even a bit of mashed banana after I see how the rice goes later in the week. Exciting stuff!!

Gileswithachainsaw good re mashed potato! Ideal for a refluxer!
