Pacifier Liquid Medicine Dispenser with Oral Syringe | Newborn Baby | 0-6 Months

Original 2 star review: "I love the concept of the design: the nipple is soft and feels just like a regular pacifier and it feels like it's made out of quality materials. It worked really well, although we still tried to aim the nipple to the cheek in order to squirt the med to the side of the mouth when actually administering and then center the nipple for sucking and swallowing because sometimes when we would squirt while he was sucking, the med would catch him off guard and he choked a little. I'm only giving it two stars because 1) the silicone part seperated from the plastic hard peice (that stays outside the mouth) in less than a week, however it is still usable. 2) the part that you connect to the syringe is also made of hard plastic. It would be easier to attach different oral syringes if it was also made of silicone or another soft material (even though oral syringes are supposed to have a universal tip, some are thicker than others and some of ours fit better in the pacifier than others and some would disconnect and the medicine would spill but we did get better at it as we used it more)."After posting this review, I was promptly contacted by the makers of Pacidose who profusely apologized for the itemBreaking and immediately sent me a replacement at no charge. I waited a little while before writing this review. I have now been using our new Pacidose for about 6 weeks, at least twice a day and I will say we have been very happy with it. Our son quickly learned how to use the Pacidose as a straw and suck down his medicine (when we first used it he had some trouble figuring out why liquid was coming out of his pacifier and how to swallow it without choking) to the point that we barely have to press the plunger to get his to take his meds. The newer model has proven to be more durable than the first and does not show any signs of breaking. Therefore I'm changing my review to 5 stars.

Works like a charm. We give our grandson gripe with it.

Our daughter (3month) has a chronic condition and this has been the most helpful product we've purchased. It's a simple thing that makes a big difference. We don't have to fight with her to give her medicine, she takes it happily. She doesn't spit or unintentionally push anything out. It can be done one handed, and that's a big plus with a squirmy baby. This isn't something you think of when you're preparing for a baby but, it's now something I share with all my friends. You may not need to administer medications as frequently as we do but, when you have to, it can be easy.

This product is great, my son spits out all medicine but the Pacidose made it so easy to give him his medicine. The first one I bought was defective, it worked great but broke after the second time I used it when I was cleaning it. The seller replaced it promptly and the new one works great too. I'm so glad I bought this to help with giving my son his medicine.

This medicine dosage pacifier was very helpful for my baby when she needed medication daily for a period of four months. I like that she could be sucking on the pacifier and all I had to do was depress the plunger of the syringe into the pacifier to release the medication which immediately went into her mouth. I was a little concerned that I'd be leaving some of the medication in The Pacifier since she was on such a small dosage of the medication she was on it was important that she received every single drop. I found them when I removed the syringe from The Pacifier while she was still sucking on it every drop of medication would drop down into her mouth. This is very helpful because she got real tired of taking medication and would often choke or gag herself when I provided the medication to her via syringe. I'm very thankful that we were able to find an alternative method to provide her medication to her. I Purchased this product on my own this was not received in exchange for an honest unbiased review.

My baby girl has to take medication every day. It's been increasingly difficult to get her to take the meds without spitting them out as time as gone on, and no one loves wrestling their 3-month-old down to shove meds down her throat.Our doctor had told us to try using a bottle nipple and syringing the meds into there. That worked great! If you want to save $15, just use a bottle nipple (without the bottle attached) and put medication into it as your baby is sucking on it!But, eh, I wanted it to be a half of a step easier, so I spent the $15 on the Pacidose anyway. It is very slightly easier than the bottle nipple thing. The syringe slides into the pacifier so that liquid won't get lost if baby quickly turns her head or something like that. Once baby is sucking on the pacifier, you slowly syringe the meds into their mouth. The issue with this is that the provided syringe is a little jerky, so I find that I can't push the meds out of the syringe as smoothly as I'd like and I sometimes give her a bigger push than I meant to, which means that she might dribble some meds out of her mouth. It will fit over generic syringes though, so I will have to ask the pharmacy for extra syringes.Lastly, because of the design, I do wonder how clean we actually get it when we wash it. The pacifier basically has a hole in it for the syringe to slide into, then it sort of narrows so that the baby is getting only a little spray of liquid at a time. There's not really a way that I've discovered to thoroughly wash the medication passageway.Pros:* Meds are a lot easier to give than our previous method of syringing into baby's mouth (caveat: only if your child takes a pacifier!)* My husband and I always know if one of us has given our baby her meds because the Pacidose will be sitting by the sink, dirty, if it has been used.Cons:* Not sure how clean the pacidose is getting when we wash it due to design.* The provided syringe isn't very smooth, so I feel like I jam too much at one time into my daughter's mouth.* My daughter usually takes a Soothie pacifier and this is slightly differently shaped, so she is a little baffled by it.
