DD got her first ear infection yesterday.  We have medicine to give her in a syringe...whats the best/easiest way to give it to her? The first two attempts haven't been too successful.  TIA!!

    I used to put DD meds in the nipple of her bottle and feed it to her that way.  Worked like a charm every time.

    DD is on round two of antibiotics for a UTI and has to see a specialist on tuesday. Its been a nightmare. We have to mix it with fruit and give it to her, but 4 times out of 10, she gags and throws it all up. GL

    Thank you for the suggestions!!  I tried mixing it with some milk in her bottle but now she won't take the bottle with milk in it...trial and error I guess.

    We have something like this that we were given before LO was born. He takes his vitamins in it mixed with a little BM. He still makes a face but takes them. He is much better about drinking them if he is hungry too. HTH!

    We use a bottle nipple (no bottle attached) for everything!  She always sucks it right down, or does so at her own pace.  Give it a try!
