Some solid or powder drugs can be dissolved in warm water first. If the baby doesn't accept it with a spoon, you can try the dropper. When using the dropper to feed the medicine, be careful not to squeeze it in the throat direction, so as not to choke the baby. Squeeze the medicine on the baby's small tongue or buccal mucosa, and then feed some warm water.
2. Distract him with what he likes.
The baby has a certain memory ability, and is familiar with the feeding equipment, movements and postures. It may make him have a conditioned reflex and thus take an uncooperative attitude. Therefore, when giving the baby medicine, try not to let such conditioned reflex appear again. Take what he likes, such as story books or toys, and let his emotions shift to what he likes first, so it is easy to stop paying attention to the behavior of adults.
3. Give your baby a relaxed environment for taking medicine.
Parents don't want me to lead by the nose, you lead by the head, you lead by the shoulder and I lead by the foot. The baby hasn't taken the medicine and is very nervous, so it's important to create a relaxed environment. You can play some music that your baby likes to listen to, hum some songs that your baby likes, or decorate the room with flowers to make the room fragrant and warm.
In addition, the voice and tone of mother and baby should be gentle, and they can also touch or hug the baby and say some words of love to him ... In such an environment, the baby's psychological defense mechanism will be less powerful.
4. Don't take medicine to scare the baby.
Pay attention to this behavior at ordinary times. Don't use drugs to scare the baby when you are sick. For example, say to the baby, "You are disobedient and ill, so I will give you medicine." In this way, he will feel that taking medicine is a terrible thing. When the baby takes medicine, don't ask him, "Is it bitter?" Q: "Is it delicious?"
5. Try to choose drugs specially designed for children.
Many drugs have formulas and tastes specially designed for children. These drugs are as simple as giving a baby juice, so try to choose drugs specially designed for children.
