The doc thinks DS (17 months) is suffering from mild asthma and has prescribed an inhaler to help stop his nighttime coughing.
Question - any tips on how to get him to use it?
It has the spacer and mask which he and I covered in ITNG stickers. So far I've just let him play with it and I've pretended to use it in the hope that he will copy me. The doctor suggested we play astronauts - as if a 17 month old has any flippin' idea what an astronaut is.
