[blparent] Administering Medication

[Veronica Smith]

What I did was put the nose of the syringe into the bottle and then pulled
the plunger up past the knotch, then I push down  with the tip still in the
bottle back to the knotch.  This way I knew I indeed had the right amount. V

Get a 1 ml syringe from the pharmacy at your local store, and then put a
notch in the syringe post so you know how far to pull it up. Then determine
how many drops is what part of that 1 ML syringe and use the syringe instead
of the dropper.

Everyone:
I am trying to figure out the best way to administer medication to my
infant. I am giving him gas drops placed into his formula and I need to
determine how much I am putting in the bottle. I could also put it directly
in his mouth but do not want to give too much since the dropper is not
supposed to be filled completely.
I have sighted help, but I would love to do it on my own since sighted help
is not always around.
Thanks
Janel
