Hello!!!  I have a 7-month old daughter with salt-wasting CAH.  She is on 5mg of cortef (pill form) 3x's a day, .1mg of Florinef, and 3mL of sodium chloride 4x's a day.  She was on liquid cortef until they recalled it back in July.  So, she has been taking the pill form since she was 3 months old.  We also put her pills in a syringe, suck up some formula, wait a few minutes until the pill dissolves, and then give it to her.  I used to just squirt it in her bottle nipple so I could make sure that she drank it, but now I can just squirt it in her mouth.  It is getting better as she is getting older.  I hope this helps you!!  If you have any other questions, feel free to e-mail me.
