Looking for some tips/advice as 9 week old (today) DD is refusing calpol, she's really violently spitting it out and then gagging on it and crying which is really upsetting for both of us. I've been using the syringe and tried aiming it slowly a little at a time at both inside her cheek and right at the back of her mouth but neither method works. Also tried holding her chin to keep mouth closed but she won't swallow just waits to spit it out.
She's EBF, has had a few bottles of expressed with varying levels of success, takes it like a champ one day then spits it all out/turns her nose up the next and also refuses a dummy.
She does accept infacol though without a fuss just squirting the dropper in her mouth 🤷🏼♀️
Tried the calpol tonight cause she's just a bit under the weather from her jabs this week, so I guess it's not the end of the world she's not taken it but I'm worried now she won't take it when/if she's really properly poorly :(
