[quote=Anonymous]We had a similarly stubborn toddler and would have to mix antibiotics into smoothies/milkshakes. The key was to figure out which would best hide the flavor or whatever she would like most, like if it was gross banana flavor, then chocolate would work, or OJ/vanilla for a creamsicle. Then mix the medicine with a very small amount of the smoothie in a straw cup and not give a refill until the first bit is gone. She’s 5 now and finally understands that she just has to take the medicine. Neither of my other kids were even half as stubborn and the swaddling and blowing in the face tricked worked for them. Stubborn miss would spit out mouthful after mouthful as we tried to force her mouth closed. [/quote]
