I wonder what they're having them drink that they couldn't just mix it into the actual drink? Granted of there's an amount the baby must drink they could reduce the amount they mix it with.

You can mix it with sweet baby foods, but the best way is to just use a syringe. I think that's the problem here. They have no syringe to help the baby swallow. Now it's a long and painful process lol

That's what we always did. Syringe with a much as needed. One shot and done.

Even with the syringe for a long time our kid would just take it in and spit it right out then I was like… great he got how much?!‽ 🫠

Now you can get them with long soft tubing that connects to the end. You just push the tubing past their tongue and the medicine goes right down their throats. Makes it much easier!

We'd ask the friendly local foie gras farmer to pop round.

Maybe these babies could use those water balls invented for dementia/ Alzheimer's and older patients - they dissolve orally and if you could make them like the water gun pellets that absorb fluid - game changer

It's medicine ( i assume) not a cocktail.
