Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1568635 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 18:01:01 +0000 Purpledaisy 1568635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far she's only had Tylenol and Benadryl and she LOVES both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1567594 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:19:59 +0000 sumer08 1567594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No!! LO is terrible about taking medicine. It's a fight every time, and on occasion he spits it out. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1567330 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 10:44:59 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1567330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She is pretty easy to dose, but she doesn't like Motrin. No problem with Tylenol or Advil though. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1567318 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 10:42:39 +0000 pinkcupcake 1567318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: so does mine! Haha. She's a big baby and whenever she has a little owie, begs for some yahk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1567309 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 10:39:30 +0000 Alivoo01 1567309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If given in small doses at a time, yes. Otherwise, he'll cough/choke on it and it comes spewing out along with any milk and food remaining in his body. It also needs to be berry flavor. Bubble gum is no bueno! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1567087 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:33:24 +0000 Pumuckl 1567087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: @Cherrybee: I know, our's is so loud too. But I guess it kind of is a white noise sound. I've also put it as far away as possible from where we are sitting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1567033 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:17:42 +0000 LuLu Mom 1567033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the day, she takes her Rx well (she's been doing it since she was 6 months old, she used to it now) but new medicine doesn't always go over well (Advil, ect.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1567024 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:13:06 +0000 HLK208 1567024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! She pushes, screams and spits it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1566825 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 08:12:27 +0000 sorrycharlie 1566825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup. she calms down as soon as she sees the syringe, ha! we've had a veryyy sloooow teething journey, so she's pretty familiar with ibuprofen and tylenol.</p> <p>she has her first ear infection and has been on amoxicillin and loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1566818 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 08:10:19 +0000 looch 1566818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: it takes some practice, they get used to it.</p> <p>The fights we used to have with liquid medicine, oh my. It took two adults to get the medicine in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1566816 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 08:09:36 +0000 looch 1566816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: Our nebulizer is LOUD, there's no way my son would remain asleep during a treatment, that I know for sure!</p> <p>We have two options with the nebulizer, the mask or the nozzle. We used primarily the nozzle because the mask freaked him out and when he got more comfortable, he'd help us "hold" it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1566813 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 08:07:33 +0000 Cherrybee 1566813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: The doctor said to do it when she's asleep but I have one of those babies who wakes up if you so much as walk into the room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1566771 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 07:50:23 +0000 Pumuckl 1566771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: We also have to use a nebulizer. If found one trick that works: I nurse him before bed and then when he is done and drowsy he gets his paci. The paci then fits under the mask and he will then pretty much sleep through the whole nebulizer treatment. </p> <p>So it went from being hellish to workling really well for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1566691 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 07:09:07 +0000 Beyond2 1566691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is awesome about taking medicine. I on the other hand, as a child, was horrendous! I have memories from about the age of four being held down and forcefed medicine because they couldn't get me to take it in any way and I had pneumonia. I learned to swallow a pill young as a result! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1566674 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 07:00:12 +0000 Cherrybee 1566674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: That's really, really good for this mama to hear. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1566671 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 06:59:20 +0000 Cherrybee 1566671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is terrible about taking her medicine. She refuses it off a spoon but if you syringe it in she spits it straight back out again! I wait until she is hungry then take the teat off a bottle, put the correct measure of medicine into the teat and give it to her. If she's hungry enough, she will suck and swallow 5ml before she notices it's not milk and spits it out! </p> <p>As for her inhaler - ugh. She freaks out, waving her head around frantically. You have to pin her down and force the mask over the mouth - it's awful. But nothing else has worked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1566649 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 06:33:05 +0000 erwoo 1566649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest LOVES medicine. I wonder about future dependency when he's older. :P My youngest... wasn't a huge fan but is doing better about it now that he's older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1566645 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 06:31:30 +0000 Pumuckl 1566645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO doesn't like the sweet syrupy medicines. Everything else he takes like a champ but those always end up in my face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1566628 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 06:13:00 +0000 looch 1566628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is much better at it now than he was a year ago. He can use his nebulizer and take liquid medicine from a spoon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1566385 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 21:00:29 +0000 lawbee11 1566385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! She's currently on antibiotics for a double ear infection and I dread giving them to her. She's a little better about taking Motrin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1566379 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 20:58:47 +0000 blackbird 1566379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loves Tylenol and Advil!

He even asks for more. He also loves his homeopathic cough medicine, Zarbees and Motrin. Oy. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1566355 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 20:43:58 +0000 DillonLion 1566355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually yes, but this Amoxicillin rX is chalky and gross and she hates it. Otherwise she is like a baby bird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1566247 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 20:06:15 +0000 Smurfette 1566247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R loves Motrin and Tylenol! Like will whin if she sees the syringe and doesn't get any. She loved the Vitmain D drops when nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1566176 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 19:41:00 +0000 yoursilverlining 1566176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if they are chewable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1566163 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 19:36:53 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1566163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She LOVES taking medicine.

Who is she?! DS started pushing the liquid out with his tongue :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1566147 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 19:31:43 +0000 tinyperson 1566147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fine for Advil, Tylenol, but not antibiotics. It's a fight each time. We just squirt it in and hope she doesn't gag it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-take-meds-well#post-1566097 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 19:05:26 +0000 Tidybee 1566097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes she'll take it so easily and other times she will fight and do anything to keep us from getting that dropper in her mouth. </p>
