What I do is hold him firmly but gently (if that makes sense) behind his head with one hand and, then use the dropper held horizonally, with the other and apply gentle pressure where his lips meet. My hand behind his head prevents him from backing away from it and he just opens up, I slide the dropper into is mouth and squirt. Down it goes. Don't squirt too hard or he'll aspirate on it. (The fluid could end up in hs lungs). Of course if I'm not in the mood for this hassle I just wait til he comes down to eat and squirt it in between mouthfuls. Once he starts chowing he never notices me slip the dropper in. I'd do it this way in a couple of squirts though. Hopes this helps.
