Anyone else have a hell of a time giving baby liquid medicine? If no share your secrets!

Question

Answer

Blow in their face. It forces them to swallow...my pediatrician gave me this tip

Answer

We just use the syringe that comes with the medicine and he takes it no problem, in the beginning he wasnt keen because it was a new taste but now he really likes it

Answer

Luckily my son takes his no problem. But I had problems with my daughter when she was little. I kinda laid her down and would kind of pinch her cheeks and squirt it in her mouth and hold her cheeks forcing her to swallow

Answer

My kid loves the flavor of medicine lol am I the only one? He will take it any time, any where 🤔

Answer

I usually give him his meds with like an ounce or 2 of formula before his real bottle

Answer

Use a bottle nipple only to feed the medicine through. My son takes it this way every time! Total win.

Answer

I’ve had to put it on on a spoon and fed it to her that way

Answer

If its in a syringe we hold his cheeks like our pedi showed us. He likes the flavor of tylenol and motrin so its not too much of an issue

Answer

My kid thinks it's candy and sucks it out of the syringe...

Answer

Just the medicine syringes. The only time she refused medicine was when she had rsv. But that was really because she didn't want to eat anything at the time.
