How to give the granules to your baby
As long as the baby is not able to eat with a spoon, the homeopathic granules are to be dissolved in a little water, in a bottle or in a glass, and to be given preferably 15 minutes before the feeding or the bottle.
A little tip to save time: the total number of granules to be given during the day can be diluted at one time in a bottle of water, then administered to the baby the number of times necessary. They can also be melted in advance in a glass, then pipette it (kept from another medicine, for example) as many times as needed. As soon as the baby uses the spoon, the granules can be given to him to suck using a granule counter.
These remedies are given as an indication and do not take the place of prescription. Consult your doctor for the choice of remedy, the dilution to use and the frequency of intakes.
