He sees it and gets excited, even if he is sick. It's so cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-willingly-take-tylenol-advil-or-other-oral-medicine#post-153615 Thu, 10 May 2012 03:56:42 +0000 Rosie Girl 153615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS does now. When he was an infant and had to take it, it was a fight. I used to have to sit with my legs on his arms and his head held between my thighs to get it in his mouth :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-willingly-take-tylenol-advil-or-other-oral-medicine#post-153605 Thu, 10 May 2012 01:59:03 +0000 looch 153605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have to give a lot of medicine, but we're at the age now (17 months) where everything is a struggle. I've learned to put the syringe at the side of the mouth and usually he gets it down.</p> <p>Eyedrops, those are another matter altogether. I don't wish that on my worst enemy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-willingly-take-tylenol-advil-or-other-oral-medicine#post-153370 Wed, 09 May 2012 18:27:54 +0000 chopsuey 153370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Usually have to hold her down and stick the syringe in her mouth :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-willingly-take-tylenol-advil-or-other-oral-medicine#post-153364 Wed, 09 May 2012 18:23:29 +0000 Mrsbells 153364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the only "medicine" my LO takes orally right now is vitamin D and gripe water. she makes a face but she still takes them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-willingly-take-tylenol-advil-or-other-oral-medicine#post-153357 Wed, 09 May 2012 18:20:24 +0000 heffalump 153357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily she hasn't had to take it yet! We used to have to give her meds for her reflux.... but she would just spit it out so it was pretty pointless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-willingly-take-tylenol-advil-or-other-oral-medicine#post-153335 Wed, 09 May 2012 18:07:03 +0000 brownie 153335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has been taking meds since he was a week old so he is great at it. One thing we really liked was a small medicine cup that had a nipple on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-willingly-take-tylenol-advil-or-other-oral-medicine#post-153312 Wed, 09 May 2012 17:39:28 +0000 mrs. wagon 153312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wagon Jr. loves his children's ibuprofen. We call it "yummy stuff" and he still takes it by oral syringe and loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-willingly-take-tylenol-advil-or-other-oral-medicine#post-153305 Wed, 09 May 2012 17:34:48 +0000 Andrea 153305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD loves medicine, too. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-willingly-take-tylenol-advil-or-other-oral-medicine#post-153292 Wed, 09 May 2012 17:17:00 +0000 MamaMoose 153292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: hahaha moms are funny! I suppose we'll have our own mom quirks : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-willingly-take-tylenol-advil-or-other-oral-medicine#post-153290 Wed, 09 May 2012 17:15:46 +0000 banana 153290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamamoose: She only gave it to me when I had diarrhea. My mom is a huge believer that diarrhea is like the worst thing in the world. hahaha. She could care less about other symptoms but was SUPER crazy worried when we had diarrhea for some reason. We could be hacking up green slimy mucus and she'd be like "ehhh drink some tea". But one little drop of diarrhea had her and us running to the ER! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-willingly-take-tylenol-advil-or-other-oral-medicine#post-153277 Wed, 09 May 2012 17:02:08 +0000 MamaMoose 153277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I never had it as a kid (my mom is a big believer that stomach issues should be left to work themselves out!) but I tried it as an adult and hate the taste!! I do the chewable tablets : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-willingly-take-tylenol-advil-or-other-oral-medicine#post-153273 Wed, 09 May 2012 16:57:39 +0000 banana 153273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamamoose: I used to LOVE pepto too! Tasted like bubble gum. Now it tastes pretty nasty to me but when I was a kid, I used to love it when my mom would offer me pepto. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-willingly-take-tylenol-advil-or-other-oral-medicine#post-153272 Wed, 09 May 2012 16:56:35 +0000 banana 153272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my LO loves Tylenol (thank goodness!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-willingly-take-tylenol-advil-or-other-oral-medicine#post-153271 Wed, 09 May 2012 16:52:57 +0000 MamaMoose 153271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband loved pepto bismol as a kid. He would fake sick to get it and he always said his head and tummy hurt because he didn't know which one pepto was for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-willingly-take-tylenol-advil-or-other-oral-medicine#post-153269 Wed, 09 May 2012 16:49:50 +0000 Honeybee 153269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD loves Tylenol/Advil. At one point, she told us every night that her teeth hurt, just so she could get some Tylenol before bed! Now, she tells us her tummy hurts, because we told her gummy vitamins are tummy medicine. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-willingly-take-tylenol-advil-or-other-oral-medicine#post-153242 Wed, 09 May 2012 16:26:18 +0000 mrbee 153242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie gets sick a lot! One saving grace though, is that he loves to take his medicine. What a relief! Even if he has a very high temperature, he always open his mouth wide for an oral syringe of Tylenol. I guess he likes the taste or something!</p> <p>Does your LO willingly take Tylenol, Advil or other oral medicine? </p>
