DS is 2.
Has temp (39 degrees) cold, runny nose, not himself etc etc.
Sooooo calpol time.

He hates it, it's usually a 2 man job, I hold him down and DP uses the syringe to squirt it in.
DP is not here. I am alone, how can I get it in him.
Hiding it in yoghurt doesn't work. Bribery does not work.

Gaffa taping his arms down at this point seems my best option.

Any ideas please feel free to send them my way Confused

Definitely ask your doctor for paracetamol suppositories or if you are going on holiday in Europe this year buy some over the counter in any old pharmacy. Sooo much easier and less distressing for everyone.
