Good concept, really helped get my daughter to take her medicine initially however there are 2 things that I found spoiled the product for me. For one, the measurements rubbed off on the side. I found I could put it in the Milton steriliser but if I rubbed my thumb against the measurements straight after taking it out, it would rub off so just avoid touching the numbers and it should be fine. Secondly, the coloured lid would not screw on properly, it takes a while to ensure that the dispenser will not leak out - it's very fiddly. A couple of times I have given the dispenser only to find the screw cap was not on properly as I had thought and the medicine had spilt all down my daughter's chin and neck.

We bought this to help administer Baby Gaviscon for our son's reflux and it's a total success, he takes it back like he's taking milk and its so much easier than spooning it into him. I almost bought the medicine spoon with the hollow handle but I'm glad I didn't - you can use this without turning the light on at night as it has a really straight forward screw together system and your babe is used to looking for a teat so they find it easily so there is no waste and no need to clear up. I've used it for the Gaviscon, gripe water and even tiny top-ups of breast milk (empty your Lily into it). I wouldn't be without it. A top product.

I didn't buy from here, we were given one in hospital after our baby had surgery and had some swallowing and airway issues which made giving medicine difficult. This has been a lifesaver she's had to have so much medication, some of it she hates the taste but if I give in this she sucks the medicine out without hardly tasting so no spitting it out like we got with medicine syringes. I agree that the numbers do rub off on the measuring but I use a syringe to put the correct amount in. I've given it five stars as if you have an ill baby that you're struggling to give medicine then this is definitely worth a try.

This is a deffo gota av purchase for any mammy! This is baby number 3 wish id got one for 1 and 2! Think old school dummy! Lol all my babies have had advent bottles and dummy's and this unlike some of the dispensers with the flat back on the teat is a good match for an advent teat so iv used it daily for gripe water and now baby 3 is 4months iv used it for calpol! No crying, no spitting, no choking she's taken it before she has even realised! Great Little Thing! Mine goes in the steam steriliser daily and all markings are still clearly visible!

We ordered this because our grand daughter was very reluctant to take any medicine from a spoon / syringe but loved her dummy. As soon as it arrived, our g.d decided that she hated drinking from this thing more and started taking medicine from a spoon. She now uses this thing as a weapon - the liquid store is a great handle for small hands and the rigid plastic makes a satisfying sound when hit and against something again and again for a few hours. Wouldn't know what it's like for dispensing medicine though.

My baby (13 weeks) would gag and seem like she was choking on gripe water (plus other medicines were impossible to give her). This product is perfect, I add 5ml of gripe water and mix with cooled boiled water and she takes the liquid without gagging (and is very happy). I also now use this to give her cooled boiled water in-between feeds if it is a hot day (like this week) or if she has been unwell.I'm really impressed and I would highly recommend this dispenser.Louise Cook (37)

Have struggled trying to give gripe water to my breastfed baby for months. He usually ends up crying choking and coughing if I try to give him gripe water with a syringe so ended up giving up. Am now finally able to give him gripe water without a fuss! He doesn’t mind the dummy at all and doesn’t really take a bottle well or use a normal dummy. I use it while he’s sat in the rocker so I’m not in his face and he’s happy to chew on it/ suck it (I’m happy with whatever works!).

I have a 5 month old who was struggling to keep down her antibiotics and also a fussy one with dummies so to be honest I didn’t hold up much hope. The mess using a syringe however careful being was unbelievable and worst of all she would gag and throw up. The Medicator is A MUST HAVE. No mess or fuss from the little one and more importantly no gagging, spitting or throwing up. I wish I had one of these with my first born. Amazing product!!

Very very very happy with. Bought to administer gripe water as using a syringe on a 4 week old was stressful for me any baby and often resulted in choking. However this is a god send! Breastfed baby who uses dummies has no problem sucking on this. I've also used with Calpol and the test is perfect for thicker liquid too. The teat and dispensing cup does not screw together tightly so keep that in mind but not an issue for me.

We purchased these for our little boy as he needs to take medication in Sirup Form three times a day as well as gripe water.Both are ok but the gripe water is like water and he seems to get too much out of the teat at times. The munchkin meditator doesn’t leak which is brilliant. It’s easy to wash and we have it in our cold water steriliser. Would purchase again if ever needed and can only recommend.

Utterly brilliant! I have just used it to give gripe water to my 7 week old having previously tried a syringe, a spoon, a pippet and putting it in his formula...worked a charm. My little one took it all, without any upset, spills or spit ups. I have instantly put in an order for a second one! Munchkin is hard to get in the UK for aomw items, so a spare of this is now a must! Brilliant!

We bought this to give our baby son some gaviscon for children as the powdered stuff is horrible to dissolve & administer in any other way. It worked with the munchkin medicator which is what matters. The measuring marks and writing faded though which was inconvenient but still ok. We found this to be better than a similar product which had a a teat combined to a syringe.

My baby started refusing having medicine squirted in his mouth around 5 months old So had to try something to else..I actually tried to make this myself by using my own teat already using for bottle feeding and worked quite well but was messy so thought there must be something similar on the market and I found this .. amazing thing ! No mess .... no fuss !

I researched every option to help get medicine into my 2 month old, he really struggled with the syringes and would just spit it out. I used this for the first time with gripe water (which is really thin and extremely difficult to keep in his mouth) he took it straight away with no fuss. Great product, a necessity for any parent's cupboard.

My baby needs daily medication for his reflux so this has come in handy, especially when I’m bleary eyed, at 5am, and I’ve put his meds in this the night before. I prefer using this to a syringe, if possible. Only downside is that it doesn’t come with a case to keep clean but I’ve improvised with a case that came with my nipple shields.
