Now I feel terrible

[BabyBrain]

Albert just choked on the gripe water . I've been giving it with a meds spoon in two 2.5ml doses whilst sitting in his bouncer cos he hates the syringe. He took a big breath in and started choking, went purple and his eyes were streaming. I grabbed him out the chair and cleared it, it all came out of his nose and everything .

I put him on my shoulder and patted his back for a bit and he was holding on to me so tight, I don't honestly know who was the most scared. He's a bit docile now and the happy smiley boy I've had all afternoon just looks miserable . I don't know how else I can give it though. Can I mix it with his milk? xxxxxxx

Did you let him lap it up?

That works for us usually? Or maybe one of those dummies you can put medicine in? Or a bottle teat?

 

[BabyBrain]

Do they lap? I've just been letting him suck it off if that makes sense. I was looking at the dummies the other day but it said 3 months and over. Suppose a week wouldn't hurt, better than a snorkel lol. Thanks hun xxxxxxx

 

[TORino]

They do lap it yes. T bird sticks her little tongue out and sucks it up

 

[BabyBrain]

Cuuute! We need a pic of that lol

I put it in with Harry's milk if we don't do it with a syringe (just with a bit of expressed milk)

Off to Boots this morning to get the meds dummy.

And on the plus side the OH has woken up with an abcess, he looks like a before and after photo for a weight loss programme lol

thats what aj did the other day. worst few minutes ever. I put gripe water in his milk and it seems to still work. xx

I got the dummy but might try it in his milk first as he is still a bit young according to the destructions lol xxxxxxxx
