B.C.
I use to put a towel on the floor, and have the medicine already in the squirter and ready. I'd sit on the floor with my son, then have him lay down upside down to me. I'd have his head between my legs and my legs bent but over his arms and legs. Then I'd pry open his mouth, put one finger between his back gums (this got harder once he had teeth) and few drops at a time squirt the medicine into his cheek and he'd swallow bit at a time. Keeping the jaws open slightly is the key - it's harder for them to gather and spit if they can't close. Most the time most of the medicine went down. A couple of times he manages to spit it out and I'd have to reload and start over again. He didn't like his medicine, but he had pneumonia when he was 1 yr old and he had to take it in order to get better. I'd have a bottle ready for him to drink afterward and we'd cuddle and snuggle to get over it, but taking his medicine was not negotiable.
