What are the tools for feeding medicine to babies?

Medicine spoon

Features: Regular children's medicine spoons are made of non-toxic materials, more suitable for the size of the baby's mouth, safe and hygienic to use.

Tips: Pour the measured dose of medicine into the medicine spoon. If the medicine is in powder form, you can mix it with water to make it easier for your baby to drink. Then hold your baby so that he cannot twist. Then pick up the medicine spoon and place it on his lower lip, so that he can suck the medicine into his mouth.

Medicine dropper

Features: Professional dropper design, clear scale, can control the dosage more accurately.

Tips: Put the measured dose into the medicine spoon, then draw a portion of the medicine into the dropper. Then put the dropper into the baby's mouth and squeeze the medicine in. Do this again and again until all the medicine is gone. Do not use the medicine dropper to feed medicine to babies under 6 months old, as it may cause suffocation. If the baby has teeth, it is best to use a plastic straw instead.

Syringe type medicine feeder

Features: Generally made of food-grade PC raw materials. The design of the syringe-type medicine feeder conforms to the baby's oral structure and can spray the medicine directly into the esophagus to fully exert the efficacy and achieve the best effect.

Usage tips: Use a syringe to draw out the dissolved medicine, and pay attention to the temperature and concentration of the medicine. Place the syringe on the inside of the child's mouth and drip slowly. The medicine will flow into the pharynx along the cheek. A few children will cry because of the bitter taste. Pat their face lightly and they will swallow.

When feeding medicine to babies, be careful not to force the medicine down the nose, as this can cause the medicine to enter the trachea easily. It is also not advisable to pour the medicine directly into the pharynx, so as to avoid inhaling the medicine into the trachea and causing choking and coughing, or even aspiration pneumonia. If the child chokes and coughs when taking the medicine, stop feeding immediately, pick up the child and pat his back gently. Choking the medicine into the trachea can easily cause lung infection or suffocation and death due to tracheal obstruction.

It's best not to feed him a large dose at once, but feed him drop by drop, and comfort him while feeding. When feeding medicine, parents should be calm. If you are very nervous and uneasy, this emotion will also infect the baby.

Steps for feeding medicine: ● For babies under 1 year old, you can let them lie in a chair first; ● Lift their upper body slightly; ● Then use a syringe or dropper to squeeze the medicine into the baby's mouth; ● Be careful to squeeze the medicine between the tongue and cheek, not near the throat, otherwise the baby will choke easily; ● Then gently pinch his cheeks to help the baby swallow the medicine; ● Experts explain that when the baby feels liquid in the back of his throat, he will swallow it quickly; ● After the baby has taken the medicine, stand the baby up again; ● Pat his back to help him swallow the medicine, and feed him some warm water, which can quickly remove the residual medicine taste in the mouth and avoid vomiting.
