Arte, the two ways that have worked are getting E to suck on her dummy and poking the tip of the syringe just into the side of her mouth (bit tricky) and as she sucks you squeeze it in, you can do the same thing by getting him to suck your finger with the syringe too. The other thing is the medicine cup dummy thing. First few times it didn't work at all until I twigged it was too cold, so I buzz it in the microwave for a couple of seconds and she drinks it all down - the warmer it is the quicker she drinks it. Well 15 ml anyway, haven't had any luck getting a full 30ml into her. The 15 ml seems to be doing the trick so I've given up trying to get the extra amount in. PS the gagging can be simply by having it in the mouth and not swallowing, rather than from the taste. HTH
ETA - Queenie, you might notice that DIY and nightmare were words used together - latest example, he "fixed" the door lock on my car and now the door handle is falling off LOL. I hire tradespeople whenever I can!
