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.
