Movicol Tips

Mums, how are we getting our babies to drink the movicol solution?! I’ve tried just with water, water and juice, water and fruit puree, via a syringe, she is point blank refusing! All tips, tricks and hacks welcome!

I just add it into one of her bottles as mines only on 1 sachet once a day x

How old is your little one? My son is 3 and he kept saying he could taste it so refused it for a while! I always put in orange squash and really shake it well then just let the squash settle down. He has it so much better. I found it wasn’t mixing properly xx

She’s 9 months and breastfed, she won’t take a bottle anyway and has point blank refused from her cup! X

Add sachets to her milk bottles (make the solution in water first and then this goes in with her milk). No other way for us as she point blank refused

Does she have squash? If so Add it to squash but never let them see you doing it because they are very smart.

Nope no squash, only water and that’s hard enough to get her to drink, and I think it’s because she’s breastfed! Tried putting it directly into fruit puree but she could clearly still taste it!
