How do you give your baby calpol?

[serah]

Right.... tried:

spoon (yeah, right)
dormel dummy (yeah, like he's going to suck on THAT!)
syringe (big fight ensues, ending up with three times the required amount of calpol being used, most if not all being spat back out)

My doctor has said, upon trying to look in his ears and mouth that she had not come across a baby who objected so vehemently to being examined.

Maybe I just have an awkward baby... does anyone else? How do I get calpol in him if i need to?

have exactly the same problem with my daughter - she hates all the different flavours of liquid paracetamol. I now either put the medicine into her last bottle of milk before bed or, if it's during the day, put her into her 'sit and swivel' play-seat-thing, in front of cbeebies and sneak it in using a Babies r Us, round-ended plastic medicine dropper. It's a bit trial and error, but some days she is more absorbed by the telly than the yukky gunk being squirted into her mouth. Bon chance!

What about trying the soluble junior disprol? this is the only paracetamol my daughter would take it dissolves in a little water so you can give it to them in a bottle or beaker they tend to like the fizziness of it.
