have just administered medised to 9 month old dd - there's considerably more of it on me than in her. has anyone tried those dummies that you squirt the medicine through? your experiences good and bad would be appreciated . . .

Not tried a dummy but those medicine syringes are excellent. My ds hates taking medicine so when he's ill (not very often thank God) I administer his medicine when he's asleep (obviously forcing it down his throat when hes awake)

ooh yes i've got one of those 4 my 6 month ds. It works, it took him a while to work out the idea though. maybe because he doesnt have a normal dummy?

my dd loves hers and asks for it even when she's not ill. I find the plunger a little stiff though, so it shoots the medicine out rather quickly!
