How are you supposed to give gripe water when they don't give you a spoon or syringe??!:dohh:
 
we measured it on a medical spoon and put it in her bottle. we used one we have for our own medicines obviously we washed and sterilised it first lol
 
i think with the boots one you get a spoon and tbh i find it much better than the traditional brands x
 
i use the little spoon we got with calpol and give it straight to LO like i would medicine. it really does work in settling him.
 
I measure it on a calpol spoon and add it into bottles x
 
I've given it to him via a syringe I got with some antibiotics as he doesn't have bottles x
 
I measured (5ml) it out in measuring spoon and poured it into the cap just to see - and it fit perfectly! However, when I tried to give it to Erin, it went everywhere!!!! At first I used the teat of a bottle which wored fine, but then I bought a plastic syringe from boots for 60p!
 
i use a syringe to measure 5ml and put it in some cooled boiled water, if i just use the syringe she chokes abit and spits it all back out
 
I use an infacol syringe (takes a lot of syringing tho :haha)
 
We got a syringe from the chemist...they gave it us free! hehe

But Joshua we used to dip his dummy in it, he never ha d full dose but it helped
 
with a spoon (the one from the calpol is good), although we never used it as LO hated the taste and spat it out
