last night Tyler had a temperature and he hasn't been himself for a few days so ran him up to the doctor to be on the safe side and he has a throat and ear infection

poor little mite no wonder he's been off his food and whiney all day.

Getting medicine into him is great fun!! not lol, any tips?

have you got a syringe for the meds?? If you have, what i do is lay Cerys flat on her back, pretend im putting dummy in and then shove the syringe in her mouth. while im squirting it in, i gently picnh her cheeks together so she HAS to swallow - good luck xx

Oh no, poor Tyler! Have you tried the syringe. Doesn't stop them from spitting it out but it is more fun for them than the spoon.

Hope he gets better really soon hun x x x

god with Rowan being ill so often i have some tips!!

If he is using a bottle.

clean out the bottle and teat. then get the measure of meds and put your finger over the teat end and pour the med into the teat. keep it upside down and put the end of the bottle on. keep it upside down then pop it into his mouth and he'll think you've given him some milk and by the time he realises he would have taken it all.

Thats what i used to have to do with Jaiden worked a treat he was such a sucky baby but Sophia takes a spoon no probs

Hope he gets beter soon hun XX

we did get a syringe yes we manged to get the first lot down him but takes two of us, one to hold him down and the other to squirt.

he doesn't really take much out of his bottle only has 1 in the morning he just refuses it no matter what's in it (even tried chocolate milk and he didn;t want it - and this was way before he was ill haha)

poor thing

im sure he'll be better by Monday now that we've got some meds for him

I sometimes lie c down on my lap, put one arm under my right arm pit behind my back and use my right arm under her head to hold her other arm then use the syringe. She has now worked out though that mummys gonna give her the medicine one way or the other and is getting pretty good about the spoon

Cant really help with how to give it i can never get callum to take medicines x
Hope tylers gets better soon tho xx

Can't really help as we used a syringe for a few weeks and then moved to a spoon and Flick will take medicine willingly x

Get Well Soon Tyler xxxxxx

Hoe he gets better soon x

hope he's better soon, ava's just had an ear infection but it cleared up really quickly after the antibiotics. x

Aww poor little thing, chloe is strange, she likes medicine and asks for more!

Lots of cuddles from mummy as well will help him feel better x

A good tip when using a sringe is to put it in the cheek area. Aimee had her meds 3 times a day with this and this way it doesn't touch their taste buds so don't feel the need to spit it out.

Hope he is better soon x
