[blparent] Droppers to give infants medication/vitamins

[Peggy]

With all three of my kids I used the method Tammy mentioned, buy or ask your 
pharmacy for one, sometimes they'll just give them to you, a tiny suringe, 
then measure your liquid with sighted help first ... mark the side of the 
plunger with a knife or tape or whatever works for you.  Then when you pull 
up the plunger you'll feel it and know how much to give.

I personally hate dropers.  If you can get some of those plunger seringes,
those work great.  Your pharmacy should have some of them.  For a baby, 5
