I am having the hardest time getting my 9 month old daughter to take an oral antibiotic. This is her first time on one and she gags, spits, throws up, screams, etc. I have tried everything that I know to do. I never had this much trouble with any of my other children. She is strictly breastfed and will only take an occasional drink from a cup so slipping it in on her just hasn't worked. Here is what I have tried:
Adding flavoring
Dipping cookies in it
Freezing it
Squirting it way in the back of her mouth (don't try this one at home moms, she instantly threw up all over me)
Mixing it with her cereal (now she won't eat her cereal at all)
I am at a total loss. I even asked her doctor and he didn't have any other suggestions but stated that she had to have this particular medication. I even tried adding it to kool-aid which is something she would not ordinarily get. HELP! Thanks!
