I need to try doing it when he is sleepy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-taste-medicine-you-give-lo#post-626507 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 09:21:40 +0000 dagret 626507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: you know what, he took it just fine if we gave it to him sleepy. And shot it in his mouth diagonally instead of straight back. Shooting it to the back just made him gag and spit up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-taste-medicine-you-give-lo#post-626505 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 09:20:46 +0000 Shutterbug 626505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I once had amoxicillin that was accidentally mixed with rubbing alcohol instead of water! Luckily I was 4, so I could tell my mom it burned, but she checked all our meds after that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-taste-medicine-you-give-lo#post-626504 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 09:20:00 +0000 ninja 626504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I always taste it just to make sure it's not super nasty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-taste-medicine-you-give-lo#post-626490 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 09:10:06 +0000 pl0508 626490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: oh wow !!!

They were elemental formulas so think formula mixed with a very medicinal taste. </p> <p>The one LO drinks daily, has a VERY strong grape with metal flavor (you can smell it across the room) and comes pre-mixed. This one was not so bad as long as it was ice cold. I only had to drink it a few weeks to make sure he could tolerate it first via my milk. The other ones were unflavored and powered. I got the pleasure of making myself my own whatever-I-can-gag-down-cocktail by mixing it with 100% blueberry juice instead of water. DS's nutritionalist wanted me drinking at least 16 oz a day while I was on TED. I did it for several months, but it eventually caused such extreme heartburn and stomach cramping that I could not drink anymore. Sort of ironic being that is formula made specifically for children with GERD and digestive issues! We never gave it to DS...could you imagine the issues he would have if it was giving them to me? No way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-taste-medicine-you-give-lo#post-626440 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 08:38:09 +0000 pl0508 626440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: ewwww was it yuck ? I do NOT like the smell Of formula ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-taste-medicine-you-give-lo#post-626435 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 08:35:03 +0000 anbanan15 626435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I always do. I also had to drink formula for an extended period of time. The things we do for our LO's :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-taste-medicine-you-give-lo#post-626426 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 08:29:01 +0000 pl0508 626426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do!
