the frida baby medicine soother has been an absolute life saver for us - you do have to buy a syringe separately but honestly it makes giving calpol so much less messy x

We used some colostrum syringes and used my little finger to encourage my little boy to suck and swallow it

I used a 1ml syringe and put it to the side of her mouth and did it very slowly tiny drops. My daughter was terrible. Good luck! x

Thanks all x

We took the lid off bottle and put it in the teat and let her suck out x

Side and back of mouth and then I just gently blow in his face and it makes him swallow x

@Lauren we do the same, hoping my little girl learns to like the taste of it as she’s teething already 🙈

Syringe in to the cheek and then a little blow in the face encourages them to swallow. My little boy (first born) was the same and he was in hospital with covid and the nurses told us that trick xx

@Jackie I felt all smug that we had tricked her. I am hoping she doesnt catch us out 🤣
