How do you give LO gripe water?

I just bought some and the dose is 2 giant syringes full... I tried going slow, fast, and in between, and she spit it all out. She's EBF and she only gets bottles the 2 days a week that I work so I can't really sneak it in her. Any pointers?

The dosage on mine is a teaspoon for babies up to 6 months and it comes with a dropper. But I don't ever give her more than a few drops because that's usually all she needs to calm down. I stick her soothie in the bottle and tip it over so she just gets whatever coats the pacifier. I know there are pacifiers for giving medicine, maybe that would work?

Mine is only a teaspoon. Maybe a different kind that's more concentrated would be easier? I just pour it in her mouth and she smacks her lips and swallows it. It's pretty cute actually lol.
