    Does anyone know anywhere in Dublin that sells the soothers that you put medicine into? I need it for Thursday so don't have time to order it online. I tried using the dosing syringe thing that comes with the Calpol but ended up with most of it on the bib and very little in the baby :o

    Have you tried giving it on a spoon? My little fella won’t take it from the syringe either so for his 4 month injections I used a spoon and he took it no bother. I put it into the syringe for the correct dose and then put a small bit onto a little spoon and gave it bit by bit. It took a while alright but less stressful!

    I have seen a trick of using the teat of a bottle, put the dosing syringe into the teat, put the teat in to babies mouth and as they suck push on the syringe and the medicine should go in. I haven't tried doing it but thought I would share!

    Thanks guys! The spoon was a no go, she just spat it straight back out. I've done the bottle teat trick, it worked but it was a bit messy so I'd prefer the soothers if I could get one. I had one with my son and it was fantastic, they just don't seem to stock them anywhere anymore :(

    Toots I got one in mothercare about 2 months ago, they call them 'baby medicine dispensers' but they are soother-shaped.

    I only saw these in Lloyds pharmacy in ashleaf shopping centre in Crumlin a couple of weeks ago. I'm sure other Lloyds would have them too
