I found that giving DD rice cereal made the reflux worse, so try it by all means but keep an eye on that too. I know a few other mums on here said the same thing. It seems that health professionals think that giving babies solids is the answer to everything (I'm a little annoyed at myself for trying DD on solids so early at the recommendation of our paed - and it made things worse).
Yes, Missy also has a very sensitive gag reflex. We're doing BLS and she gags all the time on stuff. Scary!! But not a problem, babies in general have their gag reflex more towards the front of their tongues - it's their bodies way of coping with foreign objects going in their mouth. The gag reflex moves back over time.
