This mommy shares brilliant trick to make fussy baby drink medicine!

2 min read

We hate it when our babies fall ill for more reasons than one. Of course, no parents likes seeing their little ones suffer, but there's also the absolute agony of giving medicine to babies who just don't want it!

I remember when my kids were babies, giving them medicine when they were sick was a torturous experience. I resorted to all kinds of ridiculous tricks to try and get those meds down. Usually, the end result was:

  • Baby pursing mouth super tight
  • Baby yelling and crying like I was trying to murder him
  • Baby shaking head furiously while yelling and crying
  • Spilling the meds
  • Vomiting the meds

Usually, it was all of the above.

So when I saw this clever mom's nifty trick,* I was delighted (to share it with you all) and sad (because why didn't I know about this when my boys were babies?).

Here it is moms and dads. The life-saver you need to give your babies medicine without a fuss when they are sick.

3 easy steps to feed your baby medicine, fuss-free

UK mom Helena Lee's little bub Alfie was not well recently. In a Facebook post, she explains:
