Oh man!! I don't know!!

Oni's ALWAYS been great with taking her meds. But I think it's because she had RSV at such a young age and had to take a MASSIVE amount of meds!!

Ummm...if it's tylenol, can't you just add it to her water/milk?

When I babysat before I had Oni, the kids were like that. You'd have to literally kneel on their shoulders...it was TERRIBLE!!

I think the older she gets, the more acceptive she'll be of meds, as long as her experiences are ok with em!

I don't have any problems yet giving Kaylee medicine, I just usually tell her "Yum yum" & that's enough for her to want it lol. Of course that's the yummy tasting infants motrin too, it'll be a different story I'm sure if she ever gets prescribed the nasty stuff though.

yea, robitussin is sooo nasty!!! I don't understand how/why Oni doesn't have a prob taking it!!!

BLECH! *I* have a hard time taking Tussin!!!

I gave her tylenol. It worked, but not as good as it use to with the popscicle. I want her to have a good experience with it, but last time she needed it she wouldn't take it so I had to hold her down. I hated doing that, but she needed it.

She's sweating the fever right now.

I have a syringe that you put the medicine in. Works every time

i have a syringe to put medicine in. william hasn't caught on yet and its so much easier. and at my parents, we've got my dad. he was a nurse and hes a pro lol he gets william to take his medicine all the time. want to borrow him?

yes, Rose. lol
I have the syringe too and she hates it. I shoot some in her mouth right before she's getting ready to bite the popscicle.

shes very awkward isnt she? william just doesn't like the fact that he has to stay still lol

Aw, poor thing. This seems to have been a crappy few weeks for her.

Is she only fighting the fever? I loved Dimatap as a kid, but I'm not sure if she's old enough for it.

I hope she starts feeling better soon. Give her a big hug from us. Are you feeling ok?

I'm feeling great. Thanks for asking.
Ava had chicken pox and measles shots 10 days ago and they said that 7-10 days later she could run fever and possibly get a few bumps.
The fever started yesterday.

Oh man! I hope she doesn't get any bumps!!!!! From what I know, they can cause scars very easily!!!

finn loves medicine, you'd think it was candy. he's only ever had tylenol and motrin and he gets mad when i take the syringe away. he likes to suck every last drop out!

My girl went to bed with the chills tonight. She was trembling after her bath. I snuggled her up and when I touched her back she arched it and screamed. I guess it was cold. I put her on a jogging suit pants and t-shirt. We cracked back the heater, but I'll turn it down. It doesn't take long for her to start sweating after she takes the tylenol.

i dont have to do ne thing with my kids, infact they love meds so much i have to give liam a syringe of water when macy gets her antibiotics so he wont freak out lol
