Don't lie to the baby.
The baby is ill, and the mother is anxious like an ant on hot bricks. Coupled with the baby crying and refusing to take medicine, parents will try their best to coax the baby, and even lie to the baby that the medicine is delicious, similar to juice. Marvin said that when Wen Wen coughed, she refused to drink cough water, so she lied to Wen Wen that cough water was delicious and as sweet as sugar water. Wenwen believed it for the first time, took a sip and felt bitter, then spit it out immediately. No matter how much Marvin coaxed Wen Wen, she wouldn't take another sip.
Mom and dad should be careful not to trick the baby when giving him medicine. If the first time the trick was successful and the baby took the medicine, what about the second time? What about the third time? Don't forget the story of the wolf coming. If you cheat your baby more times, your baby's trust in your parents will decrease. No matter what medicine you want your baby to drink or do in the future, the baby will never trust us again. This is really a bad idea that is not worth the candle.
It doesn't take so much preparation to give medicine.
Some mothers are worried that they will be embarrassed when feeding their babies, and they will spit out the medicine or spill it all over their bodies, so they will let their babies wear dark saliva shoulders before feeding them, and some even want to wear waterproof coats.
Before giving the baby medicine, put on a waterproof coat and hang a dark saliva shoulder. After wearing them several times, the baby ran away as soon as he saw his mother take out those clothes. He didn't want to wear them anyway. You may have formed a psychological hint that at the sight of clothes like that and saliva on your shoulders, you will know that you have to take bitter medicine. To this end, mothers should pay attention not to have any sense of ceremony when breastfeeding their babies, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
Don't hold the baby tightly and force the medicine.
Because the baby is crying and refuses to take medicine, mom and dad are also worried that the illness will get worse if they don't take medicine, so they have to pour the medicine anyway. Therefore, many parents will choose to hug their baby tightly and sometimes hold his little hands and feet to prevent them from having a chance to struggle. In fact, doing so will make the baby feel scared and even more insecure.
If you force your baby to pour medicine, you may cause unnecessary harm if you are not careful. If the baby struggles hard, it may suffocate, and in severe cases it will lead to suffocation. In addition, holding your hands and feet is easy to sprain. For various reasons, you can't give the baby medicine like this. Everything should be based on the baby's health and safety.
If the baby doesn't want to take medicine, it can be fed by changing the venue or posture to make the baby feel safe and feed in the way that the baby likes, which is more practical. Never treat your baby with rude behavior!
Don't feed the medicine in tears.
For bitter drugs, babies' first reaction is to refuse to take them, and their mouths are closed. Faced with this situation, some parents will seize the baby and try to pour the medicine by tough means. This chaotic situation usually makes the baby cry. Then parents will think that when the baby cries and opens his mouth, he can get rid of it by pouring the medicine down. In doing so, the baby is easily choked by the trachea, and in severe cases, it will cause damage to the lungs.
As a parent, you should encourage and praise your baby to take medicine instead of using tough methods. If the baby eats neither hard nor soft, you must fill it with scientific methods. Generally, the medicine should be taken slowly from one side of the mouth, rather than directly from the middle of the mouth, and it is not advisable to act too hard.
