Dispensing remedies to infants?

How do you dispense homeopathic remedies (tablets) to infants that are bottlefed only? I've read that breastfeeding mothers often take remedies for their babies but I can't do that.

Thank you!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
You get a dropper bottle at the local chemist .

You then either --

a] dissolve a tablet in some pure water and give 6/12 drops midway between feeds

b] as above but put half a teaspoon of liquid in the pure water in the dropper bottle .

Thanks for the info. I think the dropper method would work better b/c she's only 4 months old. A tablet would just get pushed out.

Is adding to the bottle directly not recommended?

Its possible to add to the bottle --- Im just being fussy!.

If I dissolved a whole tablet in a 6 oz bottle of formula would that be too much for a 15lb four month old infant?
