| I used the infant medicine droppers and there were a few times I had to just sit him up on my lap and hold his checks. He wimpered a little, but he was ok. I had to do that yesterday. Good luck.... |

| They have flavoring kits at walmart and most pharmacies can add a flavor of your childs choice. |

I had a little boy who had to take a lot of meds, I used to put meds into a syringe. If they were tablets I would crush them and put them in a couple mls of water. I don't know how old your son is, but we tried to make a game out of it.
I would pretend to taste the meds, and pull a funny face and say "YUCK!!! Thats the Grossest thing I ever tasted, now it's your turn".
I would also have to sing the song from Mary Poppins, you know the one "just a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down" (this can be quite embarrasing in front of company - but it worked for me).
Just a tip, never ask if he wants his medicine - ask what would he like after his medicine, like juice or milk or a treat? |
