Medicine Spoon (Green)

One of the most useful baby things we've bought! We all buy a load of things we think we'll need and then never use them, but this is used multiple times a day at the moment. We've been working on ways to reduce wind and reflux, so our baby has taken a lot of different meds through this already. It's very clear at measuring what's in it, high sides on the actual spoon part so it's much harder to spill and for them to spit everywhere, easy to sterilize, doesn't spill (when filled up and laid down) thanks to the handy little feet and overall it's very useful. I can imagine in the future it'll be useful when they start needing things like Calpol too. Very impressed :)

This is one of the best things I've ever bought! I hate the syringes that come with calpol, they always get stuck and you end up squirting the entire contents everywhere. This spoon makes life so much easier - my son is quite happy to take medicine from a spoon, and actually gets excited about it when he sees this spoon! It's not completely spill-proof, so I keep hold of the spoon unless I want him wearing it, but it means you can put the spoon down while putting the bottle away, or hold it upright while you wrestle a wriggling baby into optimum medicine-taking position!

I bought this as a way to get my son to take calpol, and it's a great idea. The only downsides really are that when you do put medicine in it, if it is sticky (like calpol) it does take a while for all of the medicine to reach the spoon, by which time my son (7 months old) has lost interest and turned away so I then have to put the spoon down and get him back in position and start again. Perhaps when he is a bit older he will prefer this as he will be able to control it himself, however for the moment syringes are much easier to use.

Genius product. Still being used 12 years later! I left it a while before writing this review, just to check it out fully!!!

I purchased this item as I thought it may be a good distraction when attempting to administer meds to my reluctant (read defiant) 2yo. The measures are TINY and difficult to identify - the bumps on the caterpillar signify the different measures. NB. you really need to be able to CLEARLY DETERMINE how much you are pouring into the spoon. While using for calpol it serves its purpose. I have recently tried to serve antibiotics and came across a problem. If the medication is of a high viscosity as is the particular antibiotics prescribed, this is not a good device to use because the liquid is slow and sticks to the walls of the spoon it also means that pouring is also slow and you really need it to be quick so the child does not have the possibility to refuse the dose. Whilst very cute, it’s function is inadequate and it’s an unnecessary device.

No good for my 5 year old. He doesn't understand to keep his mouth open whilst the medicine makes its way down into his mouth, so he ends up clamping his mouth over the spoon with medicine all over his lips and under his nose. Also it's a little awkward tipping the medicine in to measure it. It's just 10x easier to use a normal medicine spoon.

I'm sure not a bad product but I bought it to try and deliver gripe water to a 2 month old so def useless for that as it's a spoon and I didn't read it properly! I'm sure good for the age group it was meant for

Brilliant product! We were previously trying to cup-feed a 4 week old baby colic medicine and it was going everywhere! Once she got the hang of this it has been a lifesaver - being able to lie it flat while calming her down is great and means far fewer spills. Being able to sterilise it as well means I can easily have it ready again for every feed. Definitely recommend.
