We use a medicine dropper to give Lindsay drinks. She doesn’t handle liquids too well and the medicine dropper allows us to control the amount that goes in her mouth better.

We recommend starting with something thicker, like chocolate milk or a milkshake, that doesn’t go down the throat as quickly. Aspiration is probably easier with liquids, so please consult your doctor and speech therapist before trying this to see if it is a possibility for your situation. If you get permission, we recommend you have a suction machine close by at all times.
