Well sickness has struck in our household today. Little B has an ear infection, asthma flare up, and a stomach bug. All this has caused quite a stir in our little home. This is the sickest I have ever seen my little man. After a quick trip to the doctor I came home with a handy hint. My son refuses and I mean REFUSES to take medicine. I have tried the nurse trick of squirting it in the back side of his cheek, he spits it out, blowing in his face to force him to swallow, he spits it out, offering a drink after, he spits it out. Basically whatever I try to do he always spits his medicine out. So, to some folks dismay I began sneaking it in juice. This worked well for his daily allergy medicine and his occasional cough medicine but today I was stressed. The doctor was prescribing amoxicillin which is thicker and more grainy than typical medicine. I asked her opinion about mixing his medicine with juice and she said when it comes to thicker grainier medicine to mix it with a little chocolate syrup or jelly. Both of these are thick already and the sweetness hides the flavor of it. Brilliant! It worked very well for my little man who loves chocolate milk. I make my own chocolate syrup at home which is running low so you will probably see a post on how I make it in the next couple days as well. Hope everyone is well. If you would like to see a life hack added let me know and I can do it! Thanks and good night to all!
