As the saying goes, bitter medicine is beneficial for illness. From this, it can be seen that most of the medicines people often take are bitter, but they can treat people's illnesses. However, children are the least fond of bitter things, so every time they take medicine, they often move around and refuse to eat, which makes parents very frustrated. So, what if it's difficult to feed the baby?
1. Feed multiple times. When parents give their babies medication, they can feed the medicine or granules in batches, so that they don't have to worry about the baby choking on the medication and can also let the baby eat it.
2. Mix the medicine with other foods or drinks. Before using this method, parents need to consult a doctor to ensure that the medication can be mixed with other things or drinks without affecting the baby's physical health. In addition, if the medication can really be mixed with food or drinks, the amount of these foods or drinks should be small, and not too much should be prepared to avoid the baby not being able to finish it.
3. Change to a relaxed environment and then feed the medicine while it's not ready. If parents want their baby to take medication, they can feed the medication when it is not easily noticeable to the baby. For example, when the baby is happy eating, they can take advantage of the baby's inattention to feed the medication and then switch to the original food to continue feeding. Or let the baby watch their favorite animations, and when they are enjoying themselves, they can be given medication.
4. Feed with a feeding syringe or dropper. This method is mainly used for infants and young children, which can ensure that they finish their medication. However, some babies may refuse to take it after taking a little. So when parents use syringes and other tools, it is best to let the baby swallow the medication quickly.
