Hi all. I found out Thursday my LG has cf. She is 6 weeks old. We now have her creon, parafit we are waiting on and her flucloxicillin. Any tips how to get her to take the fluclox? She needs 5 ml twice a day but just spits it out and gets none at all. The creon She has half a scoop before bottles with some baby fruit puree and it ok with that off a spoon. I am aware of cf as my sister had it just looking for advice please!
