Adding cereal to bottles

My son was 10 lbs 3 oz and 24 inches at birth. He is now 7 weeks and about 13 lbs and 25 inches. His feedings now are small and frequent. I feel like he is not getting enough, and it is not holding in his stomach due to his size. I tried to feed him more formula, but it all came back up. He eats about 4-5 ounces at a time. I want to stretch out his feeding schedule. I know the peds don't suggest adding rice cereal to bottles, but I know so many people that have that have had great results. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
