XP: Inhaler?

sugarbear0524

I just found out that my son (21 mo) needs an inhaler. Anyone have any experience with little ones and asthma?  I've used an inhaler, but I'm trying to wrap my head around administering it to a toddler.

My 19 mo LO has 2 inhalers that he needs to use anytime that he gets any sort of cough/cold.  As pp said there is a mask that your LO will wear and the medicine goes through a chamber. The best method for us is to turn on Mickey Mouse for the 3-5 minutes that it takes. This totally distracts him and he doesn't fight us. We have tried other distractions but for us Mickey is our helper for this . GL!
