Do you use a medicine dispenser with nipple or a pacifier tip like these?

I want to buy one for LO because lately she has started choking when I give her gripe water from a regular dropper. If you use a dispenser with nipple which brand would you recommend?

We used the Safety First ones (because we could get them at walmart) for 6 months with our little man. He used them to take his reflux medications. They were fantastic and I highly recommend them for everything.

We have the Safety First one as well. It worked really well for us until DS was about 7 months old. I don't know if the nipple got to be too slow for him at that point or if he didn't like the way it felt, but he won't use it anymore. For the last 3 months, we've been using a syringe as needed.

We tried using that dispenser to hove LO her gripe water but she quiclky figured out that it wasn't milk and refused it. Now we just put some gripe water in her bottle and she never knows the difference. We do the same thing with other medications, too.

LO has trouble getting the Vit D drops from the dropper, too, so we either drip it down the breast while he's drinking, or express a half ounce of milk in a small bottle and add the drops to that.
I was actually at the store today to buy a pacifier medicine dispenser but I could only find it in the giant pack of safety items, so I didn't buy it.
