We just started on this, Natalia finally went to GI doctor. What is the best way you have found to disolve it and give it? We have tried some different ways. So far she seems to be doing ok on it. He also wanted us to up the cereal in her bottle.

Are you using the solutabs? I used to divide the tablet into the right doses and then store the extra piece in a container with a tight lid (like rubbermaid) and then dissolve the dose in a small medicine cup with a tiny bit of water….about 2 ml’s. Then I used a small medicine dropper (like you get on a Mylicon bottle) to draw it up and administer it.

I do the same as Christine with the solutabs (the motrin syringe works SOOOO well!!!). We used the packets when he was very small (2 months old) and with them I used to use a TON of water in a bowl to disolve them, then I could see the white granules and I spoon fed them to him (which needless to say didn’t work well for a 2 month old).

I actually just hold the solutab against my daughter’s cheek and let it desolve from the saliva in her mouth. I know that is not what the directions say, but I found when I did it the other way (water and syringe) that most of it ended up getting stuck in the syringe. I never tried the motrin syringe, so that sounds like a good idea too.

I also used to cut just a bit of the tip of a regular syringe, then let the granules fall to the tip and give it to him, if they get stuck all you have to do is pull up a bit on the plunger and it sucks them out and unclogs it! Which I figured out about 10 months into giving him the tabs that way(of course)!! I also held the syringe at an angle when I gave it to him and that seemed to help with the logging a bit. The tab-in-cheek is a fine way to do it, and I know a lot who use that way, I tried but my lovely little boy has a bit of a temper and twisted and turned when I tried to hold it in his cheek so it became a bit of a battle!!
