Tips on giving gripe water

Not used gripe water but for dentinox and calpol I use a small syringe, giving it small bits at a time using my LO dummy in mouth in between giving to encourage swallowing

I am giving with small amount of milk and she is drinking. Without milk she won’t take anything

I use a small bottle with a slow flow teat, that's the only way my little one will take it, otherwise he spits it out.

I use the bottle teat and put it in her mouth and pop the gripe water in the teat as she can have it at her own pace then. When we used syringe or spoon she used to cough alot x

You buy a pack of syringes off amazon for a couple £ x

Bottle teat

Do you use gripe water pre or post feed guys? :) and have people been using it or a long time or short period? Xxxx

@Kate this is what I do too

@Frankie I try a bit of both. I worry with after that he might bring it up in any sick so I do some before and some during it I can and then maybe some after so the 5mp goes in in little bits x

For medicines I’ve been using the teet from a bottle. Putting it in and she sucks it

@Frankie I am putting in a bit of milk and give her before feed as she won’t take it different way

@Kate this is what I did too x

@Mickayla that’s exactly what I did for gripe water. And we do that for calpol has well now. Then I leave the test in his mouth for a little longer so he can suck on it to get al the meds in him

Honestly that method is a life saver she takes it so well, we also did the same with cal pop yesterday when she had her injections x

I use a teat or syringe c

When you guys use a teat do you have them laying on their backs?

I would pop it in a bottle teat

I still had those syringes that we were given to collect colostrum before I had baby. Work a treat
