POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy8 months agoA. Yes, you can mix medicine with formula milk, but there are a few important things to consider:
Consult Your Pediatrician: Always check with your baby's doctor before mixing any medication with formula milk. Some medicines may not mix well or could lose their effectiveness.
Small Quantity: If your doctor approves, mix the medicine with a small amount of formula rather than a full bottle. This ensures your baby takes the full dose even if they don’t finish the entire bottle.
Flavor: Some medicines are available in flavors like strawberry or vanilla, which might make them more palatable for your baby. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about flavored options.
Alternate Methods:
Use a dropper or syringe to administer the medicine directly into your baby’s mouth, aiming at the cheek to make swallowing easier. Distract your baby with toys, songs, or gentle talking while giving the medicine.
Check Compatibility: Some medicines should not be taken with milk or food because they may interact or reduce absorption. Always confirm this with your doctor.
If your baby continues to refuse, let me know, and I can provide more strategies to make medicine time easier!
