My kids love medicine. But a friend who shares your battle has found some success with the new medicine strips, that are like the Listermint strips. :D Thanks for hosting the carnival this coming week!

We've never been offered a power. That's kind of interesting. Looking forward to your Carnival entry. Maybe some pictures of Lil Duck successfully eating some medicine :) We’ve had good success with mixing those liquid syrup medicines into all the stuff I listed above.

Thankfully one of the three medicines we have to give him every day is a powder that we can mix into food - I got him to take it in applesauce and he never knew. He's a little young to understand "eat it or I will shove it down your throat" or "I'm putting it in your food" so I prefer to hide that fact at the moment. I avoid giving him meds if at all possible for the same reasons. I've been sitting on him, holding his arms down with my legs, forcing his mouth open, and stroking his throat until he swallows. What a nightmare. I know, I can’t guarantee that the little guy will eat much of anything, so I can’t really hide it in food.
