DS (8mo) has got oral thrush and has been prescribed a gel to treat it. I'm supposed to spread it all over his mouth, tongue, lips etc four times a day. But the poor little devil darling clamps his gums shut, biting me with his one tooth and immediately swallows whatever I do manage to get in there. Then he starts crying. The last time I took advantage of his crying to smear it round a bit more, but of course that just made him cry more.
Any tips on how to do this without so much crying and angst? And how to stop him swallowing it straight away?
