The most stressful thing for mothers when a baby is growing up is when the baby gets sick. And when the baby is sick, it is inevitable to give them medicine. At this time, the baby will cry incessantly. If you give a little medicine, it will be vomited out by the little one, and mothers will feel uneasy. What are the techniques for feeding medication to a 2-year-old baby?
1. Try to choose flavors and formulations that are easier for babies to accept
Medications with the same efficacy can be made into tablets, drops, granules, or different flavors such as orange or strawberry. If Yubao is more receptive to a certain taste, it will be more convenient to feed the baby.
2. More positive encouragement
When feeding medication to a baby, pinching their nose or pressing their feet can make them more prone to crying and have stronger reactions. At this point, mothers can consider that after taking the medicine, the baby will no longer have colds and coughs, and let them know the benefits and necessity of taking medication to treat illnesses. If the baby is willing to cooperate with medication, mothers can give the baby a small reward afterwards to reduce their fear of medication psychologically.
3. Turn the medication process into a parent-child game
Mothers can play the game of doctors treating their babies to minimize their fear of taking medication. If the baby does not have a rebellious mentality, it is equivalent to half the success.
