Tip 1: Create a relaxing atmosphere to make your baby take medicine obediently

If you force your baby to take medicine, the serious situation will make the baby feel scared, and the result will only make him or her more reluctant to take the medicine. You need to create a warm and relaxed atmosphere for your baby, and let him feel that getting sick and taking medicine is a very normal thing. There is nothing to be afraid of, just like when people are hungry they need to eat, and when people are sick they need to take medicine. The only difference is that the medicine tastes harder. For babies, mom and dad can reason with them from an early age. If they are sick, they must take medicine and they cannot make a fuss. Only by taking medicine obediently can the illness be cured. You can also turn bitter medicine into a delicacy by mixing it with a little sugar or juice (be careful not to add too much to prevent the loss of the medicinal ingredients), so that your baby will eat it without noticing.

Some netizens found that children's medicine is usually oral liquid or granule, colorless or brown. Find a few more cups, one for each person, and compete to see who can drink faster! Of course, hers is real medicine, and ours are all "fake medicine". Colorless is the simplest, boiled water is used instead, and coffee-colored is not difficult either, rice wine, Wanglaoji, cola, coffee, if you want a lighter color, just add some boiled water! As for those orange or strawberry colors, most of them are fruit flavors, and babies will not resist!

Tip 3: Spread fruit dan peel on the baby's tongue

Take a piece of fruit leather, cut it in half, then spread half of the fruit leather on the child's protruding tongue, and then give the child Chinese medicine. Because the fruit leather is sour and sweet and wraps around the tongue, the child hardly tastes the medicine before the medicine juice flows down the fruit leather into his throat. As for that half piece of fruit leather, if the child wants to, he can eat it as a snack. If not, just throw it away.

Children generally like to eat fruits and candies. Nowadays, many children's medicines are made with fruit flavors, and some even have beautiful colors. These can help children quickly accept taking medicine. When taking medicine, let her smell the prepared medicine first, look at the color, and then say to her: "Does this look like the red strawberries you usually like to eat?" "Does this look like the sour and sweet orange juice you usually drink?" It may be a little bitter, but in this case, the big baby will gladly accept it and answer with a smile: "Yes!"
