What is the best way to give a baby medication?

Stress Free Administration of Medication

If your baby won't nurse and is being tube-fed, try to avoid giving medications by mouth. Oral medication can usually be put down the tube. This avoids any additional negative oral stimulation and may make efforts to breastfeed go a little more smoothly.
