My nephew had to take it and My older sister gave a half dose morning and half dose at night. If she gave the full dose all at once he'd vomit everytime!

DD has it due to her prematurity. I can't say I remember 100% of the time. She's also on a liquid iron supplement. She hates the Pentavite and I usually end up wearing most of it.

DD is on liquid iron as well. I was told to never give penta-vite straight cause bubs can choke on it and stop breathing. So, we always mix it with a bottle.
I've washed my hands but I can still smell it!!

DD is breastfed so no opportunity to get it into a bottle, but TBH I was advised by the hospital to just administer it orally with the syringe. Same way we give infant panadol etc. I guess there is always a possibility they can aspirate anything.
The smell is gross...and it stains so badly. Blerk. I'm hoping the boobyjuice is giving her what she needs LOL!

yep twins were on it for 12 months and liquid iron as well due to prem and IUGR
i got wise and put bibs on them when i gave it to them and that made a difference to the amount of stains lol
i also gave it to them in between feeds and that stopped the amount of throw ups!

DS was on it too. stopped it when he went onto solids anyway. kept forgetting to give it to him! but if it helps, we used to add it to his bottle of either EBM or formula (once he decided the bottle was more fun then mummies breast!!!) and it made it more bearable for him to drink it.

Was it too cold? or to close to gaggy thingo(btw that is the technical term) at the back of throat?
