lily dust

as the others have said the comments about bf are way off, just laugh at the people when they say that and tell them how ridiculous they are being - even if the laugh is forced. FWIW my dd is having a grizzly period atm and everytime MIL is around or in ear shot she says dd needs a dummy, now i say in a joking (but not joking) half laugh voice ... "nah no need for dummies gran just lots of tlc and pats on the back to push the bubbles through"

if you wanted a comment back just ask them what makes them think a second rate substitute will be any better (no offense to FF babies) after all you make the perfect formula that is specially tailored to your baby ....

For reflux try keeping bub upright for 30 min after feeding to give the milk time to settle.

as for sneaking bub for a cuddle once asleep i have a theory - let sleeping babies lie. DD only catnaps 20 - 60 min at a time no matter how much i want to cuddle her i resist the urge any rest is rest
