I'd seen the pacifier one before, but might as well use this. Now we just need to get DD to take a bottle again. :meh: We lapsed for a month or so &amp; so her couple of successful bottle feedings are a distant memory. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obvious-yet-genius-way-to-give-baby-meds#post-2295821 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 12:50:45 +0000 hellobeeboston 2295821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a seriously genius idea!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obvious-yet-genius-way-to-give-baby-meds#post-2295800 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 12:10:20 +0000 yellowbird 2295800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I used this trick this morning with amoxicillin! Worked like a charm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obvious-yet-genius-way-to-give-baby-meds#post-2295696 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 09:26:23 +0000 simplyfelicity 2295696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugsmama: good point! This works well with gripe water and gas drops </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obvious-yet-genius-way-to-give-baby-meds#post-2295505 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 23:50:23 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2295505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do this as a peds nurse :) only problem is if they decide they don't want it it's hard to quickly get the medicine out before it starts spilling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obvious-yet-genius-way-to-give-baby-meds#post-2295501 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 23:40:59 +0000 simplyfelicity 2295501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: I hear ya.

Autocorrect is weird.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obvious-yet-genius-way-to-give-baby-meds#post-2295418 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 20:54:23 +0000 Reese 2295418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: mind.blown </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obvious-yet-genius-way-to-give-baby-meds#post-2295411 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 20:48:09 +0000 simplyfelicity 2295411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: how interesting! I actually think this is "nicer" than the dropper because baby can decide how quickly to gulp it down and it's a much more familiar vessel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obvious-yet-genius-way-to-give-baby-meds#post-2295400 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 20:36:57 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2295400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!! Though I had a pharmacist tell me that she thought the medicine pacis are mean. Probably never gave medicine to a screaming baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obvious-yet-genius-way-to-give-baby-meds#post-2295398 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 20:31:06 +0000 ldh112 2295398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dang!

Similar idea...but this saves a bunch of money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obvious-yet-genius-way-to-give-baby-meds#post-2295373 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 20:00:57 +0000 Tidybee 2295373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>genius!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/obvious-yet-genius-way-to-give-baby-meds#post-2295370 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 19:58:47 +0000 simplyfelicity 2295370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I apologize if this has been posted before, and I can't take credit for it, but using a rubber nipple hands down beats a dropper for giving meds. </p> [attach=4953/15/nuwg1z.337x600.20150918_174531.jpg] [attach=4953/15/nuwg21.337x600.20150918_174635.jpg]
