Giving medication to babies has always been a painful problem for parents, because babies do not listen and are unwilling to drink medication. Many parents have tried various methods, but still cannot successfully give their babies medication. Now let's discuss with you: how to administer medication to a two-year-old baby?
Two year old babies have weak immunity and may experience minor illnesses and mild pain. Of course, the chances of taking medication are also high. However, babies often do not listen when taking medication, and parents have put in a lot of effort to do so. There is always no good way to administer medication to babies. In fact, the best time for a two-year-old baby to take medication is half an hour to an hour before meals. At this time, they will voluntarily swallow the medication because they will feel hungry and can't wait to eat. Choosing this time to take medication, the baby is still very willing to eat.
When administering medication to a baby, one should not be too hasty. It is important to give less medication and more water. This way, the taste of the medication will fade and the baby will think it is water, which will make them willing to take another sip. If the baby always refuses to take the medicine, you can fix the head and then use a small spoon to deliver the medicine to the base or sides of the tongue, and the baby will naturally swallow it. Many parents are afraid that their babies will not drink when giving medication, so they may pinch their noses or pour the medication along their tongues, which can easily cause suffocation or allow the medication to enter the trachea, which is not good for the baby's health. Therefore, do not do this.
Do not breastfeed your baby before and after taking medication. On the one hand, you are worried that your baby may not want to drink medication after feeding. On the other hand, you should breastfeed your baby immediately after drinking medication, which may have a certain impact on the medication your baby takes. Therefore, it is best not to breastfeed the baby for half an hour before and after taking medication.
