DD (13 months) has a throat infection, and we're finding it almost impossible to get Calpol and antibiotics down her.
We're using a syringe, which has always been fine before, but she's recently discovered how to spit her water out in a squirty fashion, and that's what she's doing with the medicine. While screaming her head off, of course.
Even with me holding her in a headlock and dp wielding the syringe, we're failing miserably. Tried spoon and bottle teat but even more hopeless. Any advice, anyone? It's all getting a bit upsetting.
