How to get a baby to swallow his medicine???
in Baby
Hi
Connor is on antibiotics and we just cant get him to swallow the medicine, weve tried a spoon and syringe but he just spits it all back out,
Does anyone have any tips please?

My friend who used to work in a phramacy said if you tickle their throat as the medicine goes in that helps them swallow it.

We did have trouble getting one dose into her as she had a rotten cold and was in such a mood bless her, we put it into about 2oz of milk and she drank it all up!

if you squirt it between the cheek and gum the tounge cant push it out they just drink it and ive found that this has worked with Charlie
I just do a little at a time so 1.he doesnt chock on it, 2.if he does manage to spit it out (althought rarely) we only loose a little bit of medicine! xx hth x
