What if the child completely refuses to swallow the medicine, but he needs it for treatment?

Life hacks invented by mothers will help us to give to kid the medicine could be simple and stress-free (for both the parents and the child).

Scoop 

We put a spoon on the baby's lower lip and wait for the medicine to pour into his mouth. As a general rule, you must hold the baby firmly so that he does not twitch.

Syringe (no needle)

We collect a dose of medicine into a syringe and put it to the corner of the child's mouth. This method is often used by veterinarians for animals, which are perhaps even more difficult to feed with drugs. Make sure that the child does not have to swallow the medicine too often, control the rate of administration.

Measuring syringe and top of bottle

We need a bottle with a nipple, where we will insert the syringe. Give the pacifier to the baby and slowly start injecting the medicine.

Thanks to the soft tip, the risk of injury to the baby's mouth is reduced to zero, and the fuse protects the throat from contact with the dispenser.

Pipette

We collect the entire dose of the medicine into a pipette and divide it into several passes. Each time we drip liquid into the newborn's mouth.

The methods are suitable for medicines in liquid form or those that can be diluted in water.
