this week has been hard. mila has been sick since monday. yesterday we decided to bring her to the doctor. she gave us antibiotics. we don’t like antibiotics. turns out mila hates them. whoever designed this to be the way we should give drugs to our kids:

why? why not a gummy bear? i can see the trauma arising on mila as we force her to take this and it is suffocating

when things got really bad I mixed medicine into whipped marshmallow fluff for the kids. it worked- and I just straight up told them it was to mask the awful flavor of the medicine 

as soon as they learned to swallow pills we never looked back. and we practiced with tictacs, because liquid medicine literally traumatized my kids

I think that is the main reason, ya. we switched to chewable where we could. my kids are 11 and 9 now so it’s a big difference for sure now that they can

this is very good advice. we used BLW since she was 6 months so probably she will learn soon how to swallow pills. is that the main reason why they give liquid medicine for kids?
