Giving newborn salt

Hello everyone, my 11 week old daughter has just been diagnosed with c.f.. The doctors told us we need to start giving her 1/8th tsp of salt everyday. The problem is they told me to give it to her straight (wet my finger, dip it in salt then put it in her mouth a few times a day) and not to mix it with any water or my expressed breast milk. I guess they don't want her to associate feedings with a negative taste. I have been following their instructions so far but she absolutely hates it and screams when I give it to her, which usually makes her cough from being so upset. Anyways, I was just wondering if any other parents out there that have had a newborn with c.f. have any advice on possible other administration methods? Or just keep giving it to her straight and hope she gets used to it? Thanks in advance
