Mom Shares Brilliant Hack on How To Get A Baby Take Medicine

As if having a sick baby wasn’t hard enough, you, as a first-time parent, will soon find out that making a feverish child take his or her medicine isn’t an easy thing at all. It’s definitely no small task!

Just ask any parent who has ever done it and they’ll quickly tell you that it does require some effort. The unfamiliar, unpleasant taste of different medicines can really be too much to take for some young ones.

It’s definitely not a simple task.

In fact, a survey by the American Academy of Pediatrics tells us that around “25% of pediatricians said that their patients often fail to take medication as prescribed.” This, of course, can affect the child’s well-being since recovery often depends whether proper dosage is observed or not.

One mother shared a quick trick on Facebook – and other parents are finding it helpful!

Well fortunately, there are good solutions to the dilemma. If your little one is refusing to take his or her medicine, you might want to try this clever hack. One mother on Facebook shared this and it has since gone viral.

“So for the last 24hours I’ve struggled to get Alfie to take Calpol. He has ended up covered in half of it where he spits it at me.
