When researching this topic (GER) for a pump company's website faq's, I
found that thickening liquids has not been shown to be effective for reflux.
For children with impaired swallowing, thickening can be helpful. I'd
rather see if delivering the milk more slowly (fingerfeeding,
breastfeeding on a partially pumped breast) tried first.
