[blparent] Droppers to give infants medication/vitamins

[Brandy W]

Ask your pharmacy for a 1 cc syringe, and then find out the equivalent of it
in drops to the CC. If it is less than one cc mark the plunger part of the
syringe so you know how far to draw up the meds. Works great. Bran

Subject: [blparent] Droppers to give infants medication/vitamins

Hello.  I appoligize if this has already been asked, but I am looking for a
way to safely measure my infant's medicine or vitamins in to a dropper so
that I can give it to him.  I know the dropper that comes with the bottle
holds more than the recommended dose.  If any of you have found a way to do
this that does not involve asking a sighted person to measure the medicine
let me know.  Otherwise I have come up with a plan to have my husband or a
sighted friend measure the medicine out and store it till I need to use it.
I am also looking in to a way to have the medicine stored and ready to give
if I can't find a solution for measuring by my self here.  Any tips are
appreciated.

 

Melissa
