[Dysphagia] thickening breast milk

Still raises the concerns of introducing/adding a rice thickened substance to an infants GI tract that is not developmentally ready for it?
Wonder if Enfamil addresses this in its literature?

Just an additional FYI, Enfamil makes a formula which is thickened. I believe it is thickened with rice cereal and has quite a smoothe consistency much smoother than if added with rice creal. Enfamil also makes a formula called Nutramigen formulated for infants with reflux, however I am not sure how this formula differs from the first one. The viscosity is less thick than what "nectar" consistency is (let's not even get into the topic of defining nectar consistency). Further note that formula that is ready to feed is thicker than powder formula.
