Seperating Enzymes

I'm looking for suggestions on how people have divided / separated there enzymes. My wife and I are new at this and are still trying to get the hang of it. We have figured out it's a whole lot easier when everything is organized. My son was taking ½ a tablet with apple sauce and is now up to ¾ of a tablet. We find it very difficult to separate these in the middle of the night while holding a hungry baby and trying to make a bottle at the same time. We've started using small pieces of paper and folding the edges to hold just the right amount for a feeding. Has anyone else come across this problem and is there a better way to do it? I find that plastic creates to much static and the enzymes don't want to come out.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

As a baby, DS was on 3 1/2 pancrease MT4s for a long time and with those, we were able to actually count the beads -- I think there were 7 beads per half capsule. What I did was use a weekly drug box SMTWTFS and empty the beads for a feeding into a daily compartment. So in the middle of the night, I'd pop open a lid and sprinkle them on the babyfood bananas.

I also kept a quart container of formula in the fridge, so I could quickly prepare a bottle in the middle of the night as well.

He was eating every 3-4 hours and the med box stayed dry, so we never had issues with them breaking down prior to a feed. He was also on several liquid meds (antibiotics, adeks, actigall), so I would measure up oral syringes each evening for the next days meds and store them in a baggy in the fridge.

We have always used the little plastic containers that you put ketchup in at a fast food place. We pick up extras whenever we see the kind that have lids. When she was tiny and having ovver night feedings we opened several pils and measured out the right amounts in to these little cups and labeled the lids. When she started daycare we opened the right amounts for meals/snacks and sent them in the same labeled containers. To this day, I STILL use these little condiment cups with covers. Looking foward to doing away with them as soon as she can swallow the pills, though!
