How to get your baby to take medicine in one easy step
Brilliant, that’s all I have to say about the new ReliaDose infant medicine dispenser. Hmmm, well maybe I should say just a little bit more…
Have you ever seen those pacifiers you can fill with medicine? At first they seem like a great idea, and they even really work for some babies, but all it does is make foul tasting medicine come out of a pacifier instead of a syringe, and there’s really not much difference. Babies are going to spit it out either way.
So the next step is usually to mix the medicine with a liquid that the baby likes to drink, but then the problem is that you have to make sure the baby drinks all that liquid so that they get the full dose. So tedious!
So a really smart mom came up with an idea that combines both these approaches: The ReliaDose Medicine Delivery System.
Imagine a medicine dispenser syringe fitted inside a regular bottle. With the baby is sitting on your lap drinking from the bottle, you can stealthily push the plunger to dispense the medicine.
This means that you always know exactly how much medication the baby has had, and you, the person who knows your baby the best, can choose the times to squirt in a little medicine. Is your baby suddenly fascinated by your dog walking by? That’s the perfect time to squirt in a little more! Daddy is making funny faces? Squirt again!

New on my Kids Activities Network
About Me
I'm Wendy Piersall and I've been making a living as a blogger since 2006. Though for the first few years "making a living" was a real relative term. I started and sold the Sparkplugging blog network, and now I run a new network of kids activities websites called Woo! Jr.
Momsational is my new 'blogging home' where I get to chat about whatever the heck I want. That means you'll find me talking about internet advertising strategy, Photoshop tricks and my latest Etsy find - probably all in the same breath.

But that doesn't happen too often, as I turn down paid reviews, sponsorships and goodies daily. My rule of thumb is that I take compensation only for things I would be willing to write about for free. And since I'm a pretty lazy writer, it would have to be really kick ass to be interesting enough to give it blog space!
I’ve been really impressed with the pacifiers that double as syringes, but this seems even better!
Wow, that’s actually a really good idea.
Wow! I want to enter this one for sure. This thing sounds incredible.
I could totally use that! It’s a fight and a half to get my son to take meds. But poo! It’s too late to enter. xD
Hey Jenny — don’t panic, there are still about 2 more hours left
OK folks, entries are closed. I’ll choose the winner and announce it soon. Stay tuned!
