I have done and can't see any reason why you couldn't especially if they won't take it on it's own.
I did find it more effective on its own though and very calming if my ds had it before a feed or between feeds if he was v upset or windy.
If you are struggling to get LO to take it off a spoon, I used to use a mothercare medicine dispenser dummy - I don't know how to link but it's on the website, was about 4/5 quid I think. Basically a dummy with a cap on the back you can put liquid in...
Good luck, gripe water was my saviour Grin

thats great thanx i have put it in his bottle for the last 2 days and it just dawned on me maybe i should not be doing this!!!! i find he cant take it well of a spoon as it is a bit runny for him but he will suck a dummy so i might look into the dispencer. but thanx glad i was doing no wrong.
