Hi everyone

looking for some inspiration please. 15 mthold DD has a UTI and is on ab's twice daily, when i went to give them to her tonight she opened wide, as she usually does for meds, then pulled a face ans spat it everywhere. Tried putting it in her milk - nope, yoghurt-nope eventually she had to play fight with daddy and i had to squirt it in when he had her head downwards, still some escaped!!

Any ideas for getting it in when DH isn't around?? only need to do it for 5 days

TIA x

I know its full of sugar but desperate times call for desperate measures and all that.My mum used to mix medications with strawberry jam to get us to take them,or what about ice cream???

Thanks for the tip, tried it this morning but she is waaaaay too clever for that one!!!!!!!

This stuff is really strong tasting can't seem to disguise taste at all. Forced it down again tonight and she had one of her breath holding incidents - not fun - felt VERY guilty.

HOhum only 4 more days to go!! Beginning to doubt if she actually has a uti, no pain today and no signs of blood in her nappies, GP gave her canisten as well for sore front bottom so maybe it was just thrush?!!?

anyway still on the look out for more suggestions.

thanksx
