A commercial medication dispenser is secured in the entering end, and a one-way valve is incorporated between the entering end and the exit end permitting air and medication flow from the entering end to the exit end, but preventing flow in the opposite direction. An adapter is secured to the exit end and is made of pliable foam plastic material contoured and adapted to conform to an infant's face. A whistle is provided in the adapter to provide an audible signal that the infant is breathing properly.
