Tips for giving liquid Omeprazole to newborns

My little one is prescribed 3ml of Omeprazole a day, if we try to give it straight as a syringe pointed to the cheek she chokes and cries. If we mix it with her full feeds she refuses the bottle, if we mix it with a little milk she refuses that too. It's really challenging.

Does anyone have tips on how to give it? She's only 5 weeks old (0 weeks corrected)

Hey, I give my little boy his omeprazole through the Frida medication dummy which goes past his taste buds and helps x

I'll look into that, thank you!

We syringe it into my LG's mouth using an empty teat like a dummy.

I just use the teat from my baby boys bottle and he just takes it perfect x
