Anyone struggles to give medicine to their baby?

Hi, Slightly unusual question probably but does anyone by any chance has a video of when they struggle to give medicine to their baby or baby refusing to take medicine? I'm looking for clips to add to a short explainer video for my product invention...? Also, it would be great to hear your experiences with giving medicine to your babies. Do you struggle, if so what do you struggle with? Is there anything in particular that helps? I had a problem with my two boys. First one was on reflux medicine for a long period of time and I always worried about hurting his gums with the plastic syringe. My second one refused to take medicine altogether. It was always an incredibly distressing experience with medicine being either squirted all over my baby or floor, spat out, him being sick or choking. What helped the most was medicine dispenser dummy but as he didn't like the dummy or bottle, I had to use the plunger thing which often shot the medicine straight down his throat and made him choke. Even though it helped, it also gave me a scare a few times. How are your babies when they need medicine? Thanks x
