Try using a syringe and place it as far back in their mouths as you can so as you squirt it in it bypasses the tongue and they don’t really have to taste it.
Aries……..thanks. I will try that
reason #429 not to take (or give) medical advice in the cr:
if you take this advice make sure the syringe you use is placed to the far side of the mouth, to the side of the tongue, not in the center of the mouth over the tongue. that can be dangerous (even life-threatening, such as aspiration).
and its not necessary to place as far back as possible, that can be quite unpleasant for the child, making the next time more difficult. about an inch or so is fine. the idea is not so much to bypass the tongue as to cause a forced swallowing reflex.
