A one and a half year old baby is already quite old, and at this point, they no longer eat whatever they were given as children. If a baby feels that something is not delicious, they will refuse to eat, especially when the baby is sick. Feeding medication is particularly important because it is often difficult to give medication to babies. So how to give medication to a one and a half year old baby?
1. A simple and common method is to use a bottle to feed medication. Most of the medicines that babies take are sweet. You can put the medicine in a bottle, milk powder, or water. Always use a bottle to let the baby drink it. If they can't finish it at once, they can drink it multiple times. It's very simple. Many mothers use this method to administer medication to their babies.
2. You can also put medicine in Congee. The baby can put the medicine in the boiled Congee after feeding, so that the taste of Congee can cover the taste of the medicine. The little baby can unconsciously take the medicine, saving the mother a lot of trouble.
3. Before giving the baby medicine, you can also use a spoon to drink some fruit juice. Fruit juice is something that babies love. After that, give the baby fruit juice first, and when the baby is not paying attention, feed it to the baby immediately, so that the baby will instinctively swallow it without tasting the taste of the medicine.
The most clumsy way to make a baby suffer is the method that parents often use. Grasp the baby, press down on their hands and legs, and forcefully administer medication to the baby. This will cause pain to both the mother and the baby, and should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
