Invented by a doctor, inspired by a daughter. Smarter solutions to bring your little one back to health.
Here's the backstory: as a mother and an ER doctor, I've watched babies spit out medication (including my own) for the last 15 years of my practice. In fact, studies have shown that up to 50% of infants are not dosed correctly, in part from rejection of medication. Thus, I patented a very small, pacifier device that connects to an oral syringe to ease ingestion: Pacidose. Parents measure the drug
and can be sure their baby gets the whole dose with one plunge of the syringe. Because it flows into the back of the tongue through the pacifier, the baby doesn't get a chance to reject it. Other devices exist with the same concept, but Pacidose is a significant improvement in that:
· A hospital grade syringe plunges the medication, rather than relying on the baby to suck it out
· The soft, compliant ni**le has a better mouth feel and is modeled after real pacifiers
· A narrow central tube in the ni**le prevents waste and allows the full dose to be delivered
· Accurate measurements of liquid are made with the syringe and injected directly into the central tube--no transferring or spilling liquid
· Can also be used with oral rehydration therapy

Here's the backstory: as a mother and an ER doctor, I have lots of tricks up my sleeve that that I want to share with other moms. AGGIE MD is my brand of smarter tools that you can use at home to nurse your little one back to health, faster, easier and more safely.
Pacidose is my first product that addresses medication rejection. I've watched babies spit out medication (including my own) for the last 15 years of my practice. In fact, studies show that up to 50% of infants are not dosed correctly, in part from rejection of medication. So I patented a very small, pacifier device that connects to an oral syringe to ease ingestion: Pacidose. Parents measure the drug and can be sure their baby gets the whole dose with one plunge of the syringe. Because the medicine flows into the back of the tongue through the pacifier, the baby doesn't get a chance to taste it, or reject it.
Other devices exist with the same concept, but Pacidose is a significant improvement in that:
1. A narrow central tube in the ni**le prevents waste and allows the full dose to be delivered
2. The hospital-grade syringe plunges the medication, assisting your child to swallow The soft, compliant ni**le has a better mouth feel and is modeled after real pacifiers, and is available in 3 sizes. Fits preemies up to big kids
3. Accurate measurements of liquid are made with the syringe and injected directly into the central tube--no transferring or spilling liquid
4. Can also be used with oral rehydration therapy when your baby suffers from diarrhea or vomiting
Gripebelt is our second product. Colic is so frustrating! When I was in medical school, we joked that colic was so awful that we needed to treat the parents for stress and anxiety instead of the child. That’s why I created this all-natural relief for babies that are difficult to console due to colic or other upset stomach. It’s essentially a heated tummy wrap with distracting elements on a super cute plush toy. It addresses colic in 3 ways: compressing the abdomen, applying heat, and distracting with textures, toys and tags.
Stay tuned for more products! We love hearing from parents, and strive to make better devices thanks to your input.
