I also face the same problem as you, but only recently when my son really know how to struggle too....Dear all,
My baby refuses to take medicine. He is 10 mths old. Tried to force feed and he vomitted all the medication. Can any mummies give some suggestions? I am afraid of mixing into his milk or food as he normally dont finished them.
Thanks
i tink spoon feed is harder bcoz sum of them even refused to open their mouth where as springer can get in the mouth even when they dun open their mouth :tlaugh:I'm facing this problem too.
Try spoon-feeding the meds. It works for my girl, sometimes.
Hi Starbat11,Thanks mummies. My boy is teething so he hates the spoon also. Its a tough war esp during meal times. I force open his mouth to put the medicine in but he will struggle to close and even bite my finger =(
Hihi, can check what happens if he doesnt finished the med bottle feed? I am scared of mixing into his milk cos he cant finished his milk. Even if i reduce the quantity of the milk, somehow he still also doesnt finished?!?Hi Starbat11,
What works for my son is his medicine bottle (either Nuby or Munchkin brand). It's like a miniature milk bottle so I mix the med with his usual milk and he takes the med bottle first then followed by his regular feed.
tt's the con point for adding medi into milk. cos if he cant finish the milk, means he didnt finish the recommended dosage for the medi. mayb u can make just 30-60ml of milk and add the medi into it.Hihi, can check what happens if he doesnt finished the med bottle feed?

I saw the Munchkin one at Isetan Parkway!Hi Starbat11,
The medicine bottles are extremely miniature versions of the milk bottles with volume ranging from 10 to 15ml, precisely to minimise the possibility of the child not finishing the med & to avoid wastage (eg. med coating a regular milk bottle). Coz my boy takes his seizure med every 12 hours, I syringe the 5ml of med into the med bottle, pour in a wee bit of milk & shake it to mix it all up like a cocktail. His neuro, who has seen him taking that bottle before, is always highly amused by how tiny the bottle is and she calls it his strawberry milkshake that he takes before his usual milk feed!
Here are the photos of the 2 types of med bottles for a visual reference:
:tlaugh: Really? I usually get them from Kiddy Palace or Robinsons.I saw the Munchkin one at Isetan Parkway!
