Hello. I just read through your question.
If she is experiencing reflux and the reflux is causing her discomfort, one suggestion is to "thicken the feeds". This can be don't by adding half a teaspoon of rice cream to every 2 ounces of formula. This will often help. However, it is recommended yo discuss any possible remedy with your doctor before trying anything.
