Anyone have a good trick to giving babies meds? My LO is 7 months and on multiple meds. I've tried squirting it in the cheek, putting it in a nipple, in her bottle, etc. No matter what I try she just holds it in her mouth and eventually spits it out. I'm at my quits end. HELP!!
I use a syringe (my boys have been on meds since 6 weeks). Squirt it in the left cheek (for some reason left works best) kind of back and down so it slides down around the gums then blow in their face. Babies kind of have a swallow reflex when you blow in their face.
To my boys: I will love you for you Not for what you have done or what you will become I will love you for you I will give you the love The love that you never knew
If the baby is on solids and eats yogurt you could try mixing it in with a little yogurt. We did that for a while when the kids were younger and more finicky about taking meds.
