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.

genius!!

Smart lady!
Have you seen those medicine dropper pacifiers too? Similar idea...but this saves a bunch of money! -
Um genius!!!!!!
-
I'll try this tonight!
-
Dang! I wish I had known this is earlier tonight! Thanks for sharing
-
Yes!!! Though I had a pharmacist tell me that she thought the medicine pacis are mean. Probably never gave medicine to a screaming baby!
-
@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.
-
@simplyfelicity: mind.blown
-
Thank you for u! (Wtf? I just typed thank you. Autocorrect is weird.)
-
@Torchwood: I hear ya. Whenever I type crockpot, it automatically corrects to crackpipe...I'm like "no...."
-
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!
-
@junebugsmama: good point! This works well with gripe water and gas drops
-
@simplyfelicity: I used this trick this morning with amoxicillin! Worked like a charm
-
This is a seriously genius idea!!
-
Great idea!! 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.
We lapsed for a month or so & so her couple of successful bottle feedings are a distant memory.
-
I used to do this with a little bit of breastmilk to give D his Zantac.
-
Awesome idea! Thanks!
-
I tried this with DD2 and she still gagged and spit it out at me
