Any tips on getting her to actually swallow the stuff.....lately we've been running into a bit of a problem.  She's spitting it all out-GRRRR!!!
TIA

    After you give it to her at the side of the mouth, blow in her face.  Seems weird, but it forces them to swallow.  I was amazed at this.  Tell me how it works!

    Also- S is so stinkin adorable!!!  Love the new pic =)

    I put it in the very back of her cheek and only give about 0.3 ml at a time. She hates it and tries to spit it out but most of it gets dows this way. Have you tried it? It really is nasty. I had them add grape flavoring at the pharmacy one time (that was the only choice they gave me) and she seemed to hate it slightly less.

    Oh, and I learned the hard way not to just try to shoot it down her throat, because you will get all the medicine back plus breakfast!

    At my Target pharmacy they had so many flavors I couldn't even believe it... it was like the menu at an ice cream shoppe!  I think I counted more than 30! =0 

    Bart & I were like, why didn't they have these when we were little!?!?!
