Tips for Giving Reflux Medication

We had the same prob when Gracie first went onto losec. Now she takes it fine (has been almost a month). We just make sure we only put a small amount in her mouth at a time and make sure she can't turn her head to the side.

There are also two types of rantidine - one is sweeter tasting than the other. Have a look at the cyring over spilt milk website. It has info about them on it.

I could never express much milk so mixed the gaviscon with cooled boiled water, cos Isla was having it 6 times a day.
For the gaviscon I found the best was to give it was using a giant dropper that u can buy from chemist shops for like $3. You can then suck all the medication into it in pne go, and place the think pointed end down the side of their gums/cheek and gently squeeze it in.
For the Ranitidine I used a small syringe (I think 3 mls)- again from the chemist. If you gently squeeze their mouth near the jaw- like wear the top and bottom jaw bones meet, there mouth opens (practice on yourself or partner, it makes anyones mouth open- same as animals), and again squirt the medication down the side of their cheek, not straight down the back of their tounge so they dont choke!
Hope my explanayion makes sense, and helps!
