Right now they go in gisvefening bottle but at first I would drop them straight in his mouth. They come out fast ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-give-probiotic-drops-to-my-ebf-baby#post-724026 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 01:13:11 +0000 BunnyDragon 724026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put the drops in the bottle nipple while covering the opening and let my baby sucks on it. Then I put the nipple on the bottle so that he can drink his milk along with the remaining drops left on the nipple. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-give-probiotic-drops-to-my-ebf-baby#post-722669 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:15:03 +0000 allison 722669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like a separate dropper might be my best bet. I'd put it on my nipple, but 5 drops sounds like a lot to do that. I'd worry it'd all drip off and I definitely don't want to waste any.</p> <p>Thank you guys for your advice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-give-probiotic-drops-to-my-ebf-baby#post-722580 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 11:52:57 +0000 Mrs. Lantern 722580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give LO bio gaia and we use a little spoon. I wipe what's left on my nipple before BF. Works pretty well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-give-probiotic-drops-to-my-ebf-baby#post-722461 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 11:27:08 +0000 tequiero21 722461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd drop a drop on your nipple too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-give-probiotic-drops-to-my-ebf-baby#post-722394 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 11:13:45 +0000 immabeetoo 722394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just flip it over and drop them straight in! He's happy to eat them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-give-probiotic-drops-to-my-ebf-baby#post-722381 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 11:09:32 +0000 mamimami 722381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Biogaia "dropper" lid is the WORST!!! Especially after the first few doses you're just sitting there holding the kid's mouth open and waiting 5 years for every drop. I did either a spoon or a dropper from another medicine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-give-probiotic-drops-to-my-ebf-baby#post-722364 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 11:03:34 +0000 swurlygurl 722364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Put it on your nipple before you feed?</p> <p>Otherwise a spoon sounds like a good idea </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-give-probiotic-drops-to-my-ebf-baby#post-722328 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 10:53:16 +0000 Smurfette 722328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just buy a Doppler and do it that way </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-give-probiotic-drops-to-my-ebf-baby#post-722318 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 10:49:22 +0000 runsyellowlites 722318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You should be able to get a dropper from your pharmacy or even pedi for free (they have them behind the counter). Or even use a dropper from another product (mylicon drops come with a dropper). Or you could try a spoon like @looch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-give-probiotic-drops-to-my-ebf-baby#post-722278 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 10:37:20 +0000 looch 722278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We gave our son some drops for something else, and he'd take them right off a tiny soft spoon.</p> <p>You could also put them on your nipple, that might work too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-give-probiotic-drops-to-my-ebf-baby#post-722268 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 10:33:46 +0000 MsLipGloss 722268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the exact same drops, and just did my best to drop them directly in her mouth or on her lips (and hope that she licked them). They didn't work for us, but hopefully they will for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-give-probiotic-drops-to-my-ebf-baby#post-722264 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 10:31:17 +0000 allison 722264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've decided to start giving my 2.5 month old some BioGaia probiotic drops to help relieve gassiness. He's exclusively breastfed -- no bottles yet. The website says to give 5 drops a day, but how do I do this if I can't put them in a bottle? The bottle doesn't come with a removable dropper, so I can't just stick the thing in his mouth. Any suggestions? </p>
