Taking meds

Put the syringe through the neck opening of a teat type bottle and let them suck it out.

Couple I know of is: * As they are drinking milk sneak the capol in at the side of the mouth, gets mixed in with the milk * Put it in yoghurt * Put it in the teat of a bottle so they suck the bottle thinking they are drinking milk * Cut a carton of their favourite drink, and in the carton have the medicine in a pot, angle the straw into the pot so they think they are drinking the carton but it's the medicine

I used a test today (pre measured the medicine). I was also taught by a nurse in the hospital that if you know your baby/ toddler doesn’t like taking the medicine that as soon as you put it in their mouth to harsh blow as it helps them swallow it rather than spit it out x

My daughter is a nightmare for taking calpol or any medicine. We can sometimes mix it up with squash and give it to her as a normal drink, but it doesn't always work.

Our little one was terrible when she was smaller, throwing up immediately and we tried every method in the book so we had to use suppositories but she improved so much since then. Calpol is not and issue now and if we need to do antibiotic we do spoon of ice cream right after as a reward. My sister told me that some children hate the consistency of Calpol so she always followed with water immediately. Hope this helps.
