Calpol

Probably, I don't see why not. It's just another way of getting it into them x

You shouldn’t. Try putting the medicine into the cheek near the back near the buccal and use their dummy to help.

I’d not put it in the milk as if they don’t finish it you don’t know how much they actually had. You can put it into a teat though and let baby suck it out of the teat. There are some you can get on Amazon that are specifically designed for medicine

If you do, I’d recommend putting it in only 1oz of milk at beginning of a feed so that you know they’ll drink it. I found putting it to the back of the mouth at the cheek (like the very end of the gum line) and pushing it in slowly helped.

I bought a medicine dummy for son when he was tiny and that was the only way he’d take it for a while x

You can buy medical dummies to put the calpol in if you struggle to give.. not sure if they are good. Also last time I gave out little one some I blew gently in his face after each bit to make him swallow straight away this was the most he's taken.

Thank you everyone, I’m having a nightmare , she has a full on meltdown down and starts choking , it’s horrible😩

She also doesn’t like the taste of it

TikTok videos said put it in a teat, this worked a treat!!

We used to (he wouldn’t take it if we just put it in the teat), but we’d make a small portion of milk so he was more likely to drink the whole thing and get the full dose,

Great thanks everyone for the advise!x

I recommend the frida baby medicine dummy x

Mine was same but aim syringe to back left cheek and they swallow it was taught today by nurse as my little one had injections x

If you put the syringe in the teat that worked for us, tricked baby into thinking it was the bottle x

I have always done, but only in 1oz of milk and give whilst hungry, then give the rest of milk after, always worked and isn't affected by food :)

that's not likely, it's probably because she's so small. Ensure to very slowly give it, for example I squirt the syringe about 10 times, and she licks it up/very slowly drinks it down. Much more than 0.2ml at a time and she'll spit it out/gag, as it's thick. It gets squirted towards her cheeks, not onto her tongue

Something I tried and it worked was to squirt it into a teat and just let her suck on it. This if your baby has bottles. Works everytime and they get the full dose

My little girl is exact same. She just pockets it in her cheeks. Nurse really struggled to give her the rotavirus vaccine as she wouldn’t swallow that either.
