from 154 reviewsThe screw cap makes it a lot easier to draw medicine without spilling or wasting much at all. It’s so easy to use and the syringe is sturdy but soft enough on the outside that it doesn’t hurt my baby when we use it. My favourite purchase this year. I would recommend it to every parent!
Love love love! What a relief to have a syringe which the numbers don't rub off, it doesn't get stuck trying to fill it up or give a dose, AND its easy to clean!
Super grateful for Dosebuddy!
Really stoked that the numbers won't rub off - the absolute bane of my existence. Quick delivery, amazing service, and so happy to support another māmā in NZ. Awesome mahi!
Life changing!!! Having an unwell toddler and being so flustered by a number of completely useless syringes only a week ago, this has been a dream!
Our DoseBuddy couldn't have come at a better time. It is easy and pleasant to use, love the look and the colour and the silicone is soft and gentle. It also looks and feels robust. Thanks for creating this product!
Kiddo loves the way it feels for auction and extraction from bottle couldn’t have been any easier! Not to mention wastage that I’d seen before.
The DoseBuddy is excellent. Really well made and so easy to use. I’m so much more confident with dosages - have just purchased a second in a different colour so my two boys have their own for when they both go down! Absolutely worthwhile
That one thing every kiwi mum wanted to create and someone actually did it!
Yes it’s an investment but soooooooo so worth it! 👌
With a child requiring daily liquid medicine, this product has been a game changer in our household!
As a Mum to a boy who gets ear infections at least once a month, disposable syringes were getting so frustrating to use. Particularly getting anything out of the bottle when it's half full becomes nearly impossible. This has taken away so much frustration. It's an investment but will save buying stupid disposable syringes and also save the planet from plastic waste! Win win!
So easy to get my children to take medicine now and love that they can’t chew the end on it and it all split like my previous ones
We used our dose buddies recently, as one of our children was sick. I'm so glad we made a pledge when we first discovered they were coming. We found it really simple to use, and my son also mentioned that it was more comfortable in his mouth (compared to the disposable syringes). We also used the dose buddy medication log, which was super helpful for keeping track of when we'd given him meds. We have three dose buddies, and our children like the different colours too. Thanks for making these!
This is what every household needs. Throw out all the crappy syringes and this is peak living. Highly recommend it’s so easy to use and clean!
So easy to use and clean - before I even bought this I was sending it to all my parent friends because I knew how great it was going to be!!
Made to last.
Durable and Dishwasher Safe.

Numbers that don't rub off. Ever.
Sick of replacing single use syringes because the numbers wear off after a couple uses? Same. That's why DoseBuddy has etched numbers that won't rub off.
-
Mess-free cap.
With a syringe that doesn't reach the bottom of the bottle, you have to pour medicine into another vessel and then suck it up without knocking it all over the bench. Sounds like time you don't have. Our mess free cap fits snug with our syringe so you get a mess free dose, right to the bottom of the bottle.
-
Soft silicone sleeve.
Our unique silicone sleeve makes DoseBuddy soft and safe for gums! We know it can be a battle to get little ones to open wide but the tapered tip means you can slide DoseBuddy in easily while the moulded grip makes it comfortable for you to hold.
FAQs
What is DoseBuddy?
DoseBuddy is a 10 ml reusable, parent-designed syringe kit for giving liquid medicine to babies and kids. It’s made with a tempered glass barrel, food-grade silicone sleeve and cap, and a BPA-free plastic plunger. It’s sturdier than the cheap ones you get with the bottle, the numbers don’t rub off, and it helps you reach medicine at the bottom of the bottle. Less mess, less stress.
What materials is DoseBuddy made from?
DoseBuddy uses durable, high-quality materials chosen for safety, longevity, and ease of cleaning:
- A tempered glass barrel that’s strong, smooth, and resists scratches.
- Food-grade silicone sleeve, bung, and cap — soft on gums and easy to clean.
- A BPA-free plastic plunger, designed for a precise fit and lasting performance.
No harmful nasties, no disposable plastic syringes — just materials built to last and to make medicine time a little less rubbish.
Is DoseBuddy dishwasher safe?
Yes, You can wash with warm soapy water or pop it in the dishwasher in the cutlery holder. Find full use and cleaning instructions here.
How does the cap work?
The silicone cap is designed to fit snugly on most children’s liquid medicine bottles. Attach it, flip the bottle, and draw up your dose straight through the cap — no extra pouring or mess.
Does the DoseBuddy cap replace the usual medicine bottle lid?
No. The DoseBuddy cap has a small hole for the syringe, so it doesn’t keep medicine sealed and it isn’t child-proof. Always replace your medicine’s original cap straight after use.
Are there different sized caps?
Not at the moment. The cap is designed to fit the most common medicine bottle necks and has some natural flex thanks to the silicone.
If your bottle has a smaller neck, you can use DoseBuddy without the cap. For larger necks, use DoseBuddy like a regular syringe (only better, because the numbers won’t rub off).
We don’t guarantee the cap will fit every bottle and can’t offer refunds for cap-fit issues.
Are there different sized syringes?
DoseBuddy currently comes in a 10 ml size which is suitable for doses over 2.5ml. We are developing a 5ml version soon for smaller babies and smaller doses.
Is DoseBuddy compatible with ENFit feeding tubes?
Not yet. We’ve had lots of messages from medical parents asking about this, and it’s something we may explore for future versions.
