" I use a syringe and while he is eating a bottle, I will slip in the tip of the syringe along the nipple and give him the meds. He takes it all because he is already sucking to eat. :) Good luck. There are also bottles that have a medicine chamber in the middle of the whole bottle so it mixes with his formula/milk. "
