Getting your son to take pills

[Guest guest]

Donna,

When was little this is how I taught him to take pills. When he was

really young

I would mix the crushed medicine in Mocha Mix non-dairy ice cream or sorbet

and put it on a teaspoon. (The Mocha Mix Ice Cream is in with the other ice

creams at stores here.) Then I would give it to my son and follow it with a

water chaser. Frozen foods tend to make your taste buds not as sensitive.

When he was older this is how I taught him to take pills. I would cut the

pills into small pieces and surround them in the ice cream and put them on a

spoon. Once again follow it with a water chaser. Eventually when he was

ready, we eliminated the ice cream. Life became so much easier after he

learned how to take pills. Hope this helps!
