Can drops be added to formula or baby food or must it be taken directly?

You can add them to formula or food, but if your baby tends to leave a bit of liquid in the bottle or food in the bowl you might not be confident that s/he got it all -- and for the price, you want to get it all in your baby.

Honestly. These drops are a waste of time and money. They're impossible to get out of the little container!! Forget accurate dosing. A combination of Nature's Way Primadophilus for Children and chiropractic care worked wonders for my baby.

They can be added to formula, breastmilk, baby food or taken directly. They hardly have any taste and will not affect the flavor of food.

You can add it to food or formula (probably not too hot since that might deactivate the active ingredients); I feed it to my baby directly by dropping it on my fingertip!

It can totally be added to formula! I've done it that way with both my boys. In order to make sure they get it I like to add it to just a little formula in one bottle and feed that first to make sure they get it, then feed the rest in another bottle.

No, you will need to purchase dropper separately. I purchased one at my pharmacy in the baby section. My cat weighs 11 lbs. & she receives 1ml. every 12 hrs. This product is really amazing as to the amount of energy it has given her & her appetite is back to normal.

You can pour some into the lid and dispense from there or buy a dropper from the drug store. You can also use a q-tip as an applicator.

Yes, quite easily with a pill splitter. Can also be crushed if need be. My daughter had a feeding tube and needed the salt to be dissolved in the formula. Hope this helps.

You have to hold the bottle upside down for about 10 seconds- don't shake it- just hold it steady upside down and a drop will slowly form and then fall. It's a pain- best way to get it to baby is to put the drop on your finger and let them suck it.

I mix it with my dogs food. Looking more closely at the lable it just says to take 10 drops directly in mouth 2 times a day. There is nothing about with food or an empty stomach.

Sure, I don't see why not. I prefer it plain, but then I drink almost all of my teas (hot and cold) plain. You may want to stay away from adding milk if your baby has any issues with dairy proteins.

You can pretty much put whatever you want your baby to try. I have been using just ice in mine as my baby is 4months and is teething already!

Absolutely mixes as well. With some formula types there may be some clumps left and require a little mixing. But with similac advance it mixes perfectly, I just make the bottle in the machine, put the top on and I'm feeding my baby. Amazing time saver.

The formula is for babies who are breastfeeding as well as supplementing with formula. It is not for the mother.

Normally I'd you are just starting out giving this to your baby you start with 1 tbsp and then increase the amount as he/she gets use to taking it from a spoon. One can start with 1 serving/ day and then increase. Also ask your pediatric doctor.

The directions say to add 4 drops on a treat or in your pet's water bowl. My dog weighs 100 lbs and I put 3 drops in her water bowl when she is fretting about a thunderstorm. It just makes her a little calmer.

This formula was sent as a gift because the ingredients milk solids, rice, etc., helped to sooth an infant who was not digesting other well known brands well. The Pediatrician recommended the mom try several different formulas, each for one week. This on has been working well for several months.

It makes it a little sweeter. It's not a huge difference and it didn't bother my 15 month old at all. we have used these drops in her milk for a year now and she has had great results, no cramping, gas and crying like before!

I pumped but you could hand express and mix and either cup feed or syringe feed. It's such a small amount you could mix with water too. If baby is on solids you could mix with that too.

As far as what you CAN do? Yes, you can pump directly into it. Yes, you can store it without transferring it to the breastmilk bags (in the refrigerator up to 5 days, and a deep freezer up to 6 months). As far as feeding baby, I personally didn't feed them from this bottle, because my baby was gassy. I know it was extra work, but I transferred my pumped breast milk into a Playtex Ventaire to prevent gas and then fed it to my baby. I believe it CAN be done if you buy the Medela nipples that are compatible with the Medela breast milk pumping bottle.

You can. Just be careful about adding drops as you may get more of some minerals than you need.Too much of some minerals is toxic. I've not done it. I get minerals from my multi vitamins that have co-factors to enhance bioavailabilty and are in measured dosages. Check the product closely to see how much of what you are getting.
