Giving medicine to kids is the pits. The syringe shouldn't make it worse.
DoseBuddy is a reusable medicine syringe kit for parents, with laser-etched markings that won't rub off, a soft silicone sleeve that's easy to hold and gentle on gums and teeth, and an innovative cap that draws medicine straight from the bottle — no pouring, no spilling, no sticky mess on the bench.
The thumb loop lets you dose with one hand. Useful when the other one is busy holding a wriggly toddler.
Made from borosilicate glass and food-grade, BPA-free silicone. Dishwasher safe. Built to last years, not a few uses.
Our 10ml syringe kit is suitable for doses over 2.5mls. Measurement markings are in 0.25ml increments. We're working on a smaller version for smaller doses, coming soon!

Let customers speak for us
from 264 reviewsAmazing would highly recommend. Have not long brought my second one because one wasnt enough and no other syringe met the user friendliness of these syringes. Will buy for all my friends that have kids as presents.
Great product. Very easy to use and good design. Very easy to clean too. I highly recommend this product.
Five star product - love this!!
This takes the hassel out of one eye swinting at 2:00am trying to get the last of the pamol out of the bottle, Would recommend!!
Great quality product. Super easy to use. A high level of thought has gone into the design, for example, when you place it down it doesn't roll away, and end doesn't touch the surface.
Absolutely love this syringe, so much easier than anything else I have used and worth the money as you will be able to use it for years!
Great product. Works very well.
second one bought as a new baby gift. game changer
Great product, so easy to use and clean! I was so sick of the plastic syringes with the numbers rubbing off, so was very excited to see DoseBuddy pop up on my socials.
Love my new DoseBuddy! I’ve had to use this a few times this week already and the cap and syringe works really well!
Best invention ever! Wish i had this for my older 2 daughters. Love the colour options. The design and quality is fantastic.
Life saver for every stressed parent when they have a sick bubba
We love the dosebuddy, it has made giving Medicine far easier with our baby. The cap is easy to pop on, and drawing up is super straightforward, no more sticky syringe! I’ve felt more comfortable giving our baby medication, and less has spilled from his mouth than using a regular syringe. Bonus is he seems to like it too!
Absolutely the best medical device I've ever purchased so easy to use great colour it's my babies fave. Recommend to every parent who has to give their kids liquid meds
Super easy to use and no mess!
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 borosilicate 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 borosilicate 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.

So glad I have this. Saves me having to buy disposable syringes all the time. Super easy to keep clean, and I love the bottle lid part where you can get the last amount from the bottom of the bottle super easy, and no mess.
Sat on buying a couple tor 2 years due to expense. Finally bit the bullet & bought a couple.
Wow lives up to the hype!
My 2 grandies seem to be forever sick sadly.
Only had Dosebuddies a fortnight & they are in daily use. So appreciate the ease of getting sticky medicine out of bottle & best of all - clear measurements.
Only regret is not buying sooner lol
Love the concept, but not as practical as I thought it would be. Think Dosebuddy is over designed. Would 100% prefer the traditional ones on the market if the number won’t come off.
Pros: sustainable, high quality materials, numbers edged in (won’t come off), goes to 10ml, comes with a travel case
Cons: no physical line to indicate where the dosage should end precisely, the numbering increment lines are tricky (only 4 lines instead of 5-0.2ml per increment or 10-0.1ml per increment, had to do a bit of guessing), tricky to work with medication bottles that are in between sizes (makes it leaky or creates bubbles when drawing in medication even following their IG suggestions), the sleeve allows some water to go in when washing (so I had to pull out the sleeve to wash seperately- not risking molds sitting in there), bulky
Will love to try the next iteration if these issues are addressed but currently it’s more of a hassle than using the traditional ones.
Hi Imuy, thank you for your review. Sorry to head you've been having some trouble with your DoseBuddy. Please feel free to email us on support@doseBuddy.co any time so we can help you troubleshoot!
Totally hear you on the increment lines. We're working on a smaller version of DoseBuddy where the measurement lines will be in smaller increments.
You're absolutely right to remove the sleeve for washing. This is included in the instructions and is super important for preventing mould.
We'll continue working on DoseBuddy to make it the best it can be.

I’m loving my Dose Buddy Syringe as I go through the single use ones regularly as I have a Complex Medical Condition that requires liquid medications and the single use syringes are frustrating when the numbers come off and get expensive having to buy them all the time to replace the old ones.
Dose Buddy has replaced them and gives me the accurate reading for my dose so the I am not under dosing my self over over dosing myself with having to guess if I am taking the correct amount because the numbers are there and don’t rub off!! Having the rubber stopper as well means less chance of spillage as well as it has a tight seal between syringe and stopper.
I have all 3 colours of the syringes for my medications so I know which meds are which by the colour of the syringes and takes the guesswork out of which medication I have taken also as I know by the colour of the syringe.
They are easy to use and easy to clean and best of all after having them for a while- their numbers are still on them like the day I got them unlike the single use ones. I highly recommend them to my Family, Friends and my Facebook Groups that I belong to as they really are THE best medicine syringes out there! Well done Sasha for making our lives just that little bit easier every morning and night and in those emergency minutes when they are need quickly. You are a Legend 🩷💐
What a wonderful, thoughtful review. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this, Kate! I'm over the moon DoseBuddy has made life just a little easier for you!

As good as I'd hoped! Not used for long enough to test the numbers stay put but it is obvious they are etched in. Easy to use and clean. Bought two more for 2nd baby gifts where parents want actual useful stuff
That one thing every kiwi mum wanted to create and someone actually did it!
Yes it’s an investment but soooooooo so worth it! 👌
Absolutely love this product. The quality is unreal, the design is perfection. So easy to use and clean. No more plastic syringes that break quickly and no more syringes with numbers rubbed off. We got a double kit so that I have one for each child.
Such a great tool to have on hand especially when you have little ones. So smooth and easy to use, super easy to clean as well. The handle is great and so much easier to hold while using. Love it
An absolute game changer. I’ve been using this for a couple of weeks now and I will never go back to a plastic syringe. The silicone cap means you can get right to the bottom of the bottle and it’s so easy to use/clean. A brilliant creation which has already helped so much, I definitely recommend this to all!
Dose buddy has the tick of approval from my kids! The soft silicone, easy to clean glass, and visible numbers that actually stay on!!! Great work Sasha!!!
We loved using our dosebuddy! Everyone wanted to give it a try and they all gave it the tick of approval! The easy to clean, nice soft silicone and easy to read!! Thank you Sasha
Been eagerly waiting for these to drop after missing the original pledge and they were absolutely worth the wait! I couldn’t even wait to get inside before opening them straight from the letterbox.
They easily fit the medicine we’re currently using, the doses come out smoothly and they clean so easily afterwards. I honestly can’t explain how excited I was to finally get rid of all the plastic syringes we’ve been using.
I don’t know Sasha personally, but as a fellow woman in business I feel genuinely proud watching what she’s created. This is going to change the game and I can’t wait to see it grow.
What an incredibly kind review, thank you so much Bec!

How good!!! Being able to use the syringe with one hand and the draw back works with one finger makes it so much easier! Clear and easy to read the measurements. Easy to clean. Already thrown out my 5 crappy syringes that my 2 dose buddy’s have replaced!
Incredible product. Have already had to use it with winter bugs starting up.. so pleased to have backed a māmā that get its
SUCH a must have item for parents - no more annoying during loosing their quanity markings. Last thing you want when your kid is sick is to have to guess those quantities.
A perfectly timed delivery as our previous syringe numbers had almost completely rubbed off, and I was frustrated at drawing out of a bottle and making a mess. The dose buddy is so easy to pop the cap on the medicine bottle and draw out the correct dose mess free while also seeming robust. The soft narrow silicone tip also made giving the medicine to a resistant toddler much easier and gentler!
Every parent needs one! I’ve longed for something like this for years. It is PERFECT! Cannot recommend enough!
The dosebuddy is amazing! Such a smooth draw and no mess. This is a life changing savior for late night medicine feeding.
Love it, already waiting for next shipment to buy more for my sisters. Love the feel, easy to use and bonus easy to clean!! Also love the cap that can fit on the top, its very convenient less mess and gone are the days where your syringe is to fat to fit in the bottle the easy install cap has been a life saver ! Xx this mum is very thankful
This arrived just at the right time of needing to be on Antibiotics. Found it easy to use and adminster medication to my 3yr old who loved using it. Can be a bit tricky to take apart but this is probably a good thing as you want a sturdy product. The part with the numbers on it as a nice clean fit and seal that clears the glass inner section with no residue left behind.
Do find though when inserting it into the cap for on the bottle the outter silicone part buldges out a bit. But this is just a small negative.
Would love to have different size bottle caps in future to fit different size medicine bottles we have recently had large openings and smaller openings with our antibiotics depending what our chemist gives it in.
The dosebuddy has made things sooo much easier when dealing with medicine for my 3 littlies! The numbers are clear and easy to read (and of course dont come off!) plus my kids think they’re super cool syringes! We have throw out all our old numberless syringes and couldn’t be more grateful for this invention.
Worth every cent! So thoughtfully designed and genuinely a joy to use. Easy as to clean and I love that the silicone covers the top of the syringe so that it is softer on little mouths! Thanks Sasha for filling the gap with a FAB product. You bet I am spamming my mum friends with endless talking about DoseBuddy.
