If I wasn't stubborn as hell and for sure I was doing the right thing, I would have given in by now. I am not and will not be dumping formula or cereal down my baby to see if it makes her feel better and make her sleep all night. It won't. What I would appreciate more than anything is to stop being hasseled about it.
Breastmilk for reflux
Breastfeeding is definitely best for a baby with reflux because it is more hypoallergenic than formula and is digested twice as fast as formula.
When for solids?
The American Academy of Pediatrics, the World Health Organization, and many other health organizations recommend that babies be exclusively breastfed (no cereal, juice or other foods) for the first 6 months of life.
Why?
Because.

sorry to hear that you have been pressured to stop breastfeeding. keep to your guns--you're doing a good thing for your baby, especially if YOU (as her mom) feel it is what is best for her!
