If anyone else is having problems with the medicine spoons, I found out that cutting off the side of the smaller one of these bottles works better than anything else I've tried.

It comes down to a perfect slanted point and works a lot like one of these but is clear and cheap.

It also fits so that I don't have to find the right spot, and (if anyone cares) I found out it works hands free.

It seems to work best with cutting a little V into the tip to direct the flow.
