I find being loud but not scary (like singing loudly) helps make them confused so you can finish faster. She's not old enough to bribe yet! Hope this passes quickly... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-giving-an-8mo-medicineeye-ointment#post-2110597 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 14:56:20 +0000 cookiemomster 2110597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying, but it's so hard to make her as unhappy as it does =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-giving-an-8mo-medicineeye-ointment#post-2110493 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 13:47:09 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2110493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Biggest piece of advice is just do whatever you have to do to get it over quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-giving-an-8mo-medicineeye-ointment#post-2110486 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 13:43:42 +0000 cookiemomster 2110486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E has orbital cellulitis (basically an infection in the skin around her left eye). This means three times a day for the next ten days, I'm having to force 3.7 ml of anyibiotics down her throat as well as applying an eye cream. I feel like I am torturing her- it's fortunate that she's gone down for a nap immediately after both times I've done it so far because I dissolve into a sobbing mess afterwards. I don't want her to hare me or be scared of me. Any help is appreciated. </p>
